5.0 out of 5 stars These are the industry standard for a reason.

Great strings, I’ve been using this brand for 25 years and they always perform well.
Solid construction with a brilliant tone that lasts a very long time. This balanced tension set has been a real benefit to the feel of my bass. Try them, you may never go back to the standard set.

Personal opinion: These are the best strings in terms of quality, price, and sound. You don't need anything more. Don't be swayed by the extra features that marketing often tries to sell you, which don't actually provide a substantial improvement. I'm saying this with over 25 years of experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars My acoustic bass sounds stunning with these. way better that bronze
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2024
I ordered a "damaged package" 5 string set for my electric bass BUT I was shipped a package that had a preinstalled Low B string. It was coiled on the end and i guess they don't know you cant reinstall strings twice or they snap. no two basses are alike.

That being said the bottom 4 strings were new and the price i got was great so i kept them anyways and installed the bottom 4 strings on my acoustic bass. I usually use bronze strings but WOW these really brought it to life. 50-105 on an acoustic bass sounds great. nice projection, crisp punch yet nice lows. The acoustic bass even has a nice slap. I'm definitely happy with the results and I'm glad i kept them.

You cant beat D'Addario, they rarely ever break. Besides bass, I use them on my electric guitars, classical guitars and acoustics as well. I play many many styles as a studio musician and they have never let me down.

I Tried these strings on my 1980"s Peavey, and they sounded great. I like them so much I replace the strings on my 1964 Fender. I would recommend theses strings to anyone to try.
PS I used the 45-100

Very bright, good sounding strings. Maybe a little much string noise for my taste, but great sounding.

Only 12 string set that keeps in tune on my Dean Rhapsody for a good length of time/ playing, never have had a broken string and I really punish them. I've tried out just about every major brand till finally found these ones, outstanding strings

5.0 out of 5 stars D'Addarios Are All I Buy
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2024
My Go-to brand. Just like the feel and action of these strings and always have. I almost exclusively use D'Addarios on my other stringed weapons (electric and acoustic guitars, mandolin, mandocello). Consistent quality and the durability is always top notch once you get them broken in. I find I don't have to replace them very often, but that also depends on how much I play them. Even with heavy use, they hold up. At the price point, I can also replace them relatively inexpensively.
