Ernie Ball hits another home run

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.

This is the Ernie Ball
bbtheapollon 02.02.2024
It is the most qualified strings I have used. Spark and powerful. I would rather take it instead of Elixir. Just like their guitars, strings have also perfect craftmanship. I bought it to try but I will buy it when mine gets old.

Great sound, but I think I got a poor batch
Stephen7788 22.12.2013
Great warm sound from these strings, however I think my set was poor as my D string unwound and snapped after only a few weeks play. Rest of the strings were fine though.

Great, nothing to complain about
Jokubass 09.04.2023
I used Fodera strings before, but those being almost twice as expensive and out of stock, I gave these a try. They're great, high quality, no complains. Can't really see a reason to go back to the more expensive strings
