Good tone and longevity for the price

Theodoor 15.04.2025

Yes, sound is very subjective, but I found these strings have a warm and clear tone overall and a good longevity, provided you take care of them; always wipe after playing. They may feel a little more rough on the fingers but I got used to it, also the tension feels pleasant

Im Soundhimmel :-)

Frederic aus H. 10.08.2017

Ich habe diese Saiten aufgrund von einer Empfehlung, sowie der Tatsache, dass Scott Reeder von Kyuss die Saiten spielt bestellt ...
Hab schon eltliche durch und bin immer bei den Swing Bass von Rotosound hängen geblieben, jedoch fehlte mir da immer das gewisse Etwas ... es war nich zu 100% genau das was ich suche .

Aber mit den Blue Steels glaube ich gefunden zu haben was ich suche !
- unglaublich angenehem zu spielen (nicht so schroff wie Rotosound)
- schöner Höhenanteil wie man es von Steelsaiten erwartet und liebt
- aber auch klare,runde, volle Töne fast wie von Nickelsaiten

und genau diese Mischung machts !
Klare Kaufempfehlung ! Mal sehen wie lange sie halten werden ... Update folgt !

Blue steel

Miliouz 09.06.2011

Leur brillance dure longtemps, bien plus que les Bommer de GHS.
la puissance des cordes est equilibree (plus que les Ernie Ball je trouve).
Par contre, elles sont sont mat d'aspect (ca fait bizarre), et plutôt rêches au toucher.

Un bon jeu de corde, si on se detache du toucher assez rugueux.

Poco brillo

Pablo723 16.08.2013

Están entre las cuerdas para bajo más populares por buena relación calidad-precio. Mucha gente las critica porque les dura poco el brillo, apenas un par de semanas, pero para otros muchos eso es precisamente una virtud, así que dependerá de lo que prefieras. Si quieres un sonido muy limpio y metálico durante mucho tiempo, estas no son tus cuerdas desde luego. Pero si no te importa que ese brillo se pierda al poco tiempo y quieres tener un juego de cuerdas fiables para varios meses, puedes confiar sin problemas en estas blue steel. No aportan mal sonido, son cómodas al tacto y de precio francamente están bien. Yo las situaría en una gama media dentro de este tipo de productos.
