Chime for days... weeks... months, even

I'd been looking for my "dream" set of strings for years, and never quite coming across them until I had tried D'addario's ProSteel line. I was looking for a piano-like "chime" on the high-end (especially on the high-C of my six-string) without sacrificing the low-end of my basses (especially on the Low-B of my five and six-strings) and these were exactly what I'd been looking for. Not nearly as rough on your fingers as other stainless steel strings yet just enough to help toughen up your calluses, these are the perfect balance between super-slick coated strings and some of the earlier steel strings made that are bleed which are still on the market. If you're looking for strings that'll help you cut through the mix whether live or in the studio, help with finding the perfect slapping or tapping sound and yet still sounds like a *bass*, look no further. That they last longer than all the steel strings I've tried in my playing career is a extra bonus - it's always nice to put off changing strings. Just wipe them down, and you'll be set for months. Nothing else gets placed on my fretted basses than D'addario ProSteels. Period.

*Please note: These are "D'addario"s "Long Scale" size made for 34" bass and may-or-may-not fit your 35"-scale bass depending on the length from the nut to the tuners, if you string through-the-body or other reasons that extend the string length past the scale length (nut-to-bridge saddle distance). If you have a 35" scale bass or are unsure, purchase the EPS170-5SL "Super Long" Extended Length set.
