Ernie Ball hits another home run
KnobbyKnobKnob 17.08.2020
You know how these guys do it. Long lasting high quality is second to none. Every once in a while, I'll give D'addario a try, but everytime I end up switching back to Ernie Ball in a matter of weeks.

These are bright strings with average tension. I'd recommend it to just about anyone playing any genre of music.

Ernie Ball Slinky bass, never disappoints!
Lawrencemusik 04.07.2024
I´ve used Ernie Ball strings for the last 10 years on both my 5 string and 6 string basses and still consider them to be the most reliable for longevity and playability. They break in quick and maintain a consistent degree of comfortable tension ,even after several months of regular use. Easily considered "the best bang for the buck" and I see no reason to change brands.
