I picked these strings up for my back-up bass. Given how low the price was I was not expecting very much. I was pleasantly surprised.
The strings were a little difficult to get onto the bass due to the odd winding toward the taper - the outer wind resolves into a kind of spiral that makes the string end a little higher tension that I have found with other brands, but it was nothing too difficult.
Once on, I found the strings to be very bright and crisp. I have them on an Ibanez SR300 ( H/H active bass ) and they sound pretty good. The bass is nice and deep while the highs are snappy and clear.
I'll certainly be happy to order another set of these as my back-up bass strings in future. For my main bass I will stick to La-Bella tape wound black nylons, but for my other basses where I just need some nice workable strings these ones will do me very well.

Very Good value strings
StevetheBass 27.05.2019
Iv'e used these for years now with few issues. At one point the ball ends were too big to fit my schaller 2000 series bridges...own goal! That was fixed a while back though. Occasionally the wrap at the ball end of the .130 B string is slightly too fat to fit the slot on the same bridge and needs a squeeze with grips to fit... there is the occasional duff string, but very few compared to the number used, and at this price you can't really complain.

After a couple of months it started to get dull. The country I live is rather damp. But other strings doesn't go that bad this quick

Strings are great value & sound as good as far more expensive strings. At this price I can afford to change my strings far more often tahn otherwise, which keeps my sound fresh & vibrant.

Unbeatable for the price
Anonymous 31.03.2014
Mostly the cheapest strings for a bass. They are okay, but give up quickly. The fresh sound disappears fast and in my case one of the strings cracks afters some months. This is very annoying when you are on stage and need to change the string or the bass. But as the title says, they are unbeatable for the price.
