Cheap in price, but not on quality.

Features:

I've used many different strings throughout my musical carreer, but alwas come back to these. They have a nice, crisp punch to them and seem to last a long time. Pricewise, they simply slaughter the competition and offer every bit of the tone response. The added bonus that they make them in this guage works perfect for me. I use a custom USA Overture Stronghold bass that is tuned B,E, A, D. These hold tune perfect on it while going that low.

Excellent craftsmanship, tone and a super deal. Worth every bit of the higher priced strings.

I've been playing for about 2 and a half months for like 5 hours a day, so I hear my bass a lot.  Believe me, when I say that these strings sound amazing.  They even make my shitty amp sound better, to an extent.  I love them.. Never getting anything else, ever.

So I needed some new strings for my Epi Les Paul bass, so I decieded to give these a shot and whoa was I impressed.  With them being a heavier gauge, fat thunderous lows are produced on the E string and nice punchy, driving tones are produced on the others. These are great for rock, metal, etc. Buy these strings!
