I have owned these strings for about a week now and I have to say these strings are brilliant!! These will take a little while to get used to but after you get used to them they are great. I mean, pickups are magnetic right? Why not get metal strings then! Get these you will not regret it!

I used these for a while, before I realized that I should experiment with different strings to see what kind of tones I could get. The Ernie Ball Hybrid Steels are a bit more of Mid range than these, I had to EQ my bass equipment less.

These strings, however, last for a long time. They feel very much like a steel string, and are a bit tough, but you get used to them. For now, i'm sticking to my Ernie Balls since they are cheaper and I like them better.

I bought these to replace the stock stings on my Ibanez GSR200, and I was literally amazed... it was like I bought a new bass. These strings are great, and I am honestly afraid to try any other strings because I love the sound of these ProSteels so much.
