ok guys, ive only been playing bass for a year but i know what good bass sounds like. I have a cheap samick bass and an even cheaper rogue 50w amp which together with my old strings sounded terrible. I figured id try these strings so i could get at least a minor improvement....I was wrong, i got a massive improvement. They have really ignited my passion for bass playing

I've had trouble with Fender strings breaking but these don't. I have these on my Squier Affinity Series P-Bass and they sound pretty good. I've had them on awhile so they are starting to loose their sound. These are good strings but the next ones I'm going to try out are DR.

I bought these from a store nearby to change the stock strings on my Precision Bass, and they're just simply amazing.

Has a perfect tone, nice feel to it, and it's just great in general.

Totally worth the money, and it's all around great for playing any genre.
