Cheap bass strings that still sound good.
These strings may very well be the most affordable bass strings that there are, and sure they have their shortcomings: mainly lack of body to the tone (they sound a bit scooped), low durability (compared to my standards and considering my playing technique, that is),
and some kind of rawness to the touch (by that I just mean these are just not silky smooth and soft like some more expensive brands are); but their not that bad either, and especially I like their presence in the higher frequencies.
I consider them to be a very viable option in various situations.
For instance:
These are definitely good for a student, or someone who just play to himself and as such has no need for a particular tone.
These are good for someone who uses a very effected tone, and so is not relying so much on the strings alone.
These are good for someone who plays heavy music, mainly metal, and would go for a scooped sound anyway.
Also could be good for someone who likes to change strings very often to keep the fresh sound and doesn't want to spend a fortune.

Excelent value for money spent

Basic set of strings, nice feeling on the fingers not to rough, it's a good set for rehearsal but not as good for recordings. I use them on my Fender p bass and the sound is great.

My choice for years

I've been a Slinky's and Magma endorser for some years and I've used Red Label NICKELS since those ran out. They last longer than Ernie Ball and I prefer the tone. I just wish they came in a single bag, packaging is EXCESSIVE.

Even tho' they RARELY break, I've noticed an increase in dead strings out of the package (the E string most of all, A a couple times too). Should it happen to you, the DEAD STRING ISSUE IS EASILY SOLVED. Just force a twist on the string when installing it (try one way, try the opposite twist of it doesn't work) and it will go away. I've unnecessarily thrown away those dead strings in the past. Not anymore (thanx to a wise post in the Warwick forums, that's where I got the procedure from).

Poor intonation

Intonation is all over the place with these string. I have now tried 3 sets and the intonation setting on the bass was totally off.
