Surprisingly good strings at an amazing price

Anonymous 24.09.2015

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.

Works but not good

Carlos Costa Bass 24.01.2020

They do their job and do sound good, not especially good compared to other brands but good non the less.
However, the strings are very harsh on the fingers and loose brightness very quickly.

Queste corde hanno un suono davvero molto piacevole però hanno qualche cosa di strano al tatto, quando sono suonate appena montate risultano al mio tatto come se fossero già vecchie. È solo una sensazione perché queste corde sono decisamente piacevoli da suonare hanno una timbrica molto squillante e su un basso come il warwick dimostrano la personalità per l'ottenimento di un suono molto moderno e funky.

Useless

Marinho 15.12.2019

Terrible quality control. In almost every sets that I've bought one string from the set it's completely dead. Once a few years ago I bought 2 boxes of 5 strings sets and on the 12 sets, 9 where defective)
Buying this strings it's just trowing money away.
They are cheap and the sound isn't bad, but with this low quality control they are just useless.
It's strange for a brand like Warwick still continues selling these strings... it's not a good strategy.
