Really good strings for low tuning and bending
DK83 19.05.2025
I bought these strings as I was converting a cheap LTD bass into a BEAD-tuning monster. For 26€ these strings are really amazing.

Getting these on the bass did require a bit of fiddling around, mainly filing the nut to properly sit the heavier gauge strings. I also had to file the rear of the bridge a little, as the B-string was too thick to go through it.

After the initial setting down period the strings have stayed in tune perfectly. For a BEAD-tuning they've been perfect, even the low B (which often can cause problems with tuning and/or intonation) has been brilliant. And the way you can bend these... oh man. You can easily bend 1Β½ notes with little effort, at times even more.

So, to summarize: if you want good heavy strings for low tunings AND dig bending them like crazy, this set is definitely worth trying out.

Perfect for BEAD tuning!
JackChaCha 25.07.2023
These are great for BEAD tuning on a normal 34" scale 4-string bass. They're a little slack but I like that for nice doomy vibrato.
