Harley Benton Valuestrings Bass 40-95

Can't really go wrong at the price. I was a little skeptical when buying these strings as they cost around 25% of the usual proprietary brands I use. I have tried them on Fender Jazz and Precision basses, and Ibanez basses and have been pleasantly surprised and very pleased with the results. I have yet to see how long they retain their tone compared to the leading brands, but they seem to be holding up well. Being nickel coated they are a little warmer sounding than steels, which sound brighter and I prefer. In summary they are outstanding value, and most players could afford to keep a couple of spare sets in the gigbag. Recommend any player to give these a try. Well done Harley Benton for another very decent budget product.

These strings are an excellent example of how Thomann can make a product which punches well above its weight at a very affordable price! I have a couple of packs of these lying around for whenever I am about to start tracking bass for a final version of a song as opposed to a demo. They sound really sweet to my ears, bass isn't my first instrument but they absolutely provide more than enough low end to go around. I think the sound is equal that of Ernie Ball and D'addario when you first put them on, although I've found that the tone can begin to change even after a day or so, so you don't get as long of a 'fresh string sound' off them, although for the price I think that's a totally acceptable compromise.

In terms of quality, these feel really strong and up to scratch with other brands. You'd have a hard time breaking these!!

Five Euros? Only five Euros foa whole set of strings? You must be kidding, Thomann! I bought them for a very cheap bass. I just wanted to try them out. Five Euros? So I ordered a set and I am quite surprised. A very good value for money. I can't say anything about the durability of the strings because this is the first time I bought them. Nevertheless, at the moment the sound is quite nice (bright). They feel very comfortly. I hope that this great, bright tone will not die in two or three weeks and that it will stay a little bit longer than that. You always have to keep in mind: Five Euros, only five Euros for a whole set of strings!

I think for this price (under 5€!) you can't make anything wrong with these bass strings from Harley Benton. Of course you can't expect any miracles and you have to relate it to the price. For example, most the time I am using the Elixir Nanoweb Medium Long Scale strings which cost more than 40€. And yes I think these are the better sounding ones and of course they are holding the promise the give, they sound great for a long time, much longer than the Harley Bentons I think. But for this price they are an alternative maybe for an reserve bass or a second one you don't use so much and often like your first bass.
