As an original punk, my base guitar is and has to be extremely cheap and as a result, it was always difficult to maintain a stable tuning, especially on the E-snare, which was even worse when playing drop D. With these strongs, however, not only the sound is crisp and clear, but also extremely stable. Punk or not, it is always annoying when the deepest sounds are slightly off tune. With these strings, this is no longer the case.I simply love em.
