Bought these just because 20 years ago I had these in my Yamaha bass, and they were reliable and had quite a nice tone. I could have not been much more disappointed to the last 2 sets bought, which both included 1 dead string (G on the other and A on the other). Also, any twisting of the string to fit the tuner has to be done very very carefully as the strings are brittle and any tight bend will snap the outer core immediately (basically causing you to destroy the rest of the non dead strings in the set probably). If you don't care to buy multiple sets to get one working full set, the sound if bright and stays bright quite a good time, but in any other case I would recommend to check out something else, cheap doesn't always mean cheaper.
