Pros & Cons
Pros
These are not the brightest sounding strings, but their tone is extremely consistent over a very long time. The priority for me is that the drummers can hear me clearly and these pass that test. They deliver a great sound and bring out the characteris... Read More
These are my go to strings for my stingray 5. They seem a bit stiffer than most strings but i'm a very heavy handed player much of the time so that's what i want. Surprisingly the most in tune strings up the fret board. The fodera strings are warmer a... Read More
The original string model is no longer available and i've been looking for a suitable replacement. It is mentioned on the amazon listing; but worth restating. Real rich ring and sustain. Best of all, the super long scale strings actually fit this 35 s... Read More
The texture of the strings’ surface is almost silky smooth. They feel like a nice pair of sneakers that are already broken in but not beat up. Like the coating. Not too stiff not too light, just about right.
Cons
The bag containing the strings was still sealed and intact, however. I think i will just put the old ones back on as they lasted for a whole year and are not broken.

These strings are actually a real improvement and are a step above the already well made nickel xl’s!
Scary bright and trebly sound, i get a “growl” every time i lift a finger up from a fret.

Price
Told my bass student and he bought them for $20 on sale from amazon.
Once you get past the price, these are d'addario strings with all that entails.
So don't let the higher price put you off.
Still a good value for $30 i paid
Packaging/appearance
But they look cool and i'm pretty sure that's why you're all here looking at em
Competitiveness
" i find that they last longer than other nickel-plated steel bass strings and are worth the additional cost.
There aren't as many customers, which drives up prices, and they use more material, which drives up prices.
I tried daddario and i won’t go back to the eb.
I tried the nyxl stings on it and the sound is so much better and i don't have nearly as much fret noise.
