Nothing Else Will Do.

Woodwork Barn 16.07.2017

Been playing bass for over 30 years now and in that time I have occasionally tried a few other brands. While some were not overly disappointing, I still found myself going back to the Ernie Ball's.

First off I believe strings are a personal preference thing on a tactile level and can also drastically change the sound of your guitar.

For me the strings work on both levels, feeling smooth and comfortable to play with a fast response. New strings always sound too "jangly" for the first few hours, but after the EB's settle in they give a rich full thick full bodied sound through the right amp. I predominantly play a Precision Bass through Marshall amps and would use no other strings on it.

With Ernie Ball, the bass string prices are a little strong but quality and reliability have never been an issue. At times I have left these strings on a bass for several years and they continued to sound shockingly good.

The only way I think they could possibly be improved was if they came with silks on the ends to protect the tuners a bit, but this really is a minor detail.

All said and done, in my opinion they are the best out there and so long as they don't change, I will continue to use them in all my bass work.

Very highly recommended.

Everytime I open a pack of Ernie's, I know I have the highest quality strings in my hands. Bright, yet warm, punchy, and long lasting.

I come by these strings quite often and they've yet to disappoint me.
The feel of the strings is very nice and doesn't really budge anywhere. I actually bought a +5 size of these and think that the sound is a little more fuller, especially towards to lows, what I find quite nice.
Same goes for the sound, depending on playstyle (pick, finger, slap, thumb), it doesn't change too much and mostly stays in the broad middle.
Nothing too fancy, but that's why I like them.
