J. A 11.06.2022

i switch the elixir strings for harley benton strings and it doesn't works for me, maybe if we compare harley benton strings with others cheaps strings harley benton wins but if we compare vs expensive strings like elixir definately elixir wins.

The harley benton loose the brigth in 1 one week , i use almost every day my bass.

Too short, don't fit

Theodoor 06.04.2025

The 4-string version sounded OK on my basses strung through the bridge. But through the body of my G&L L2500 Tribute, I ran into two problems:
1) The B-string 's just too short. The part where the .130 gauge starts didn't make it to the nut, making an open B rattle.
2) The ball ends of the other 4 didn't fit into the ferrules. Never seen that before.

Great strings

Lord O 25.07.2022

Finally got around to restringing the 5 string ibanez after many years of worn out Ernie balls. For the price these are pretty nice and would buy again. Very bright and decent length.

surprisingly good

jesse.sondaar1997 23.04.2023

I was expecting to get what I paid for but these strings lasted longer and had more high-end and low-mids than I expected.

just an overall pleasant surprise.

Adequate strings, but unsuitable for 35" scales

LargeBakedPotato 02.05.2025

The strings sound and feel fine, they're a touch coarses than the big brands and they sound roughly like week old Ernie Balls out of the box (Which I actually like! It means i don't have to go through the awkward overly zingy first week)
Sadly, the strings are only made for 34" scales or shorter. The E and A strings barely get to the nut before tapering and the low B is too short and tapers a good half inch before the nut. I managed to get it working with a scrap of paper in the nut for the time being, but I won't be getting them again for this bass. A darn shame because they feel great for the price and i doubt the manufacturer is saving that much money by skimping on the taper length

Restringing failure

Marcin F 22.07.2023

One of my "backup basses" needed new strings for a while and I decided to check out this option. Unfortunately, the B string core broke as I was putting it on. I think I will stick with different brands in the future.
