Harley Benton Valuestrings Bass-5 45-130

Quite frankly, I believe these are very good strings. Out of the box, they might be a little less bright than their £ 25+ counterparts, but they definitely fit the bill. No difference would be heard in a live setting, mind you, and there is really no reason to get more expensive strings unless you have quite a unique feeling with them. I've had them on for about a month, so I can't really speak about how long they last. They're still quite bright, though. I might use the thomann vouchers I have to buy some extra packages, so I don't have even risk remaining without.

These strings feel very nice. In terms of tension, I would say that they are not as stiff as D'Addarios or Ernie Balls. I like that, but you might want something different if you are a heavy picker or whatever. They are not as coarse and rough as Warwick Red Label strings (thank god).

I currently have these strings on a P Bass and they sound quite right. I can see myself putting these strings on high-end instruments without hesitation.

Give them a try ? you have very little to lose, and you might like them. :)

I bought these strings because I desperately needed strings on my Harley Benton MB-5 bass. First impressions of the pack of strings was that they were just jammed in the pack, but that’s not the case. There’s just a lot of string. I put these on my bass and then put some Fast Fret on them. Felt great and still do after a week of various things.

Now the sound: great. It’s easier to bend notes and dig into them to get that bite. I feel that the tension is lower than other strings I have used. Sound wasn’t really affected, just brighter and better than the old set.

Conclusion: Get them! You probably need them. Up there with quality of Ernie Ball!

As a non working musician that plays bass every weekend in church, I needed to find an alternative bass string brand that was easy on my wallet.
I generally change my bass strings once every 2 to 3 months and it's an expensive hobby to feed.
When I found this and saw the price, I could not believe my eyes!
I wondered how would a company be able to profit from this!
I decided to take the risk and purchased 11 sets in total. It's cheaper that way. What would I lose from buying bass strings this cheap?
I put on the bass strings, set it up and tested the acoustic sounds of the strings *not plugged in*.
It sounded not as bright as other strings I've used in the past.
Next, I plugged it in into my bass amp and played with it for a while.
To sum up, the strings sounded not bad. It wasn't great but better than I anticipated.
For the price that I paid, I had no complains whatsoever.
A very decent quality bass strings at a ridiculous price.
You have nothing to lose. Try it and see.
Thanks Thomann!
