    These strings are dependable, consistent, and durable. What more can you ask out of a bass string? I use them on three basses with entirely different characteristics....a Hofner violin bass (semi-hollow), a Gretsch 6073 (hollow Monkees bass), and a Vox Phantom IV (solid body). They deliver excellent tone and sustain on each platform. The durability is a cost saving plus. My preference is a bright lively sound. These strings don't go dead from use, they eventually go dead from dead skin and oil from your fingers filling in the grooves. Take them off and boil them for three minutes, put them back on, and they're new again! The fact that they are well made and durable allows you to perform this trick 4 or 5 times.

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

    Simply the best bass tone one can get. Everything else is a gimmick. Strings are strings with bass just like amps. Doesn’t matter. Only thing that really ever affected my bass tone was EQ or brass nut. The rest of it is none sense. Don’t even need a heavey expensive amp. Just a simple DI with 4 band EQ.

    I'm new to the bass. I'm an experienced drummer but had to give it up due to arthritis so the bass was a logical place for me to go. I purchased a reasonably priced bass and it came with a set of strings so I didn't really bother to look into them until my E broke while I was tuning it. At first I thought my head-stock tuner was bad, but then I heard about how strings on budget guitars and basses are usually cheap and have a low life span. I'd tuned my bass a dozen times or more and it always seemed like a chore.

    So, I got the EXL160's and strung up my bass all I have to say is WOW! I've heard about people saying that you instantly know when you have good strings, and they are right! Just stringing the instrument and listening to the strings tighten gave me an instantly deeper understanding of how sensitive and important tension is. When I went to tune up, my tuner proved to be fine and it took about half as long as with the stock strings, there were no sudden drops in pitch or alteration in tone, just rich sound. It may sound strange, but these strings taught me a lot about my instrument, and I haven't even plugged it in yet!

    And if it makes such a noticeable difference to someone who is new to playing the bass, I can't imagine what it must be like for a seasoned musician.

    Bottom line, get these strings! They are awesome!
