I don't play too much bass, but the bassist in my band (and my good friend) uses these strings. At our first gig, everyone (6 people) mentioned how cool the strings looked. Out of experience, the strings are comfortable, smooth, and they sound great on an Ibanez.

I bought these strings for a warlock bass that i had at the time and i was very disappointed with how they played, They made it very difficult to move up and down the neck quickly and the sound quality wasn't that good. Definately not worth the price.

These strings are :

#1 Awesome looking. The color is a smooth red.

#2 Sound great the first couple months of playing them

However,

After several months, (about 6 in my case) the color starts fading, the sound becomes wirey and metallic. I've boiled them several times but at this point, my E string wont even pick up on the tuner beyond a flat bad sounding E. They are good for a bout ayear total and if you want soemhting flashy and somehtign that looks cool, get these.

I got a set of the medium blue strings for free about six months ago and put them on my 74 P-bass. These strings have great feel and tone. I play for at least two hours a day and these strings still feel and sound like I just put them on. I had a set of the black strings on my 2004 jazz bass and they also sounded felt and sounded great. The only problem with the black ones is that they are really hard to see on a poorly lit stage. I replaced the black with the red. I can't imagine going back to using E. Balls or GHS Boomers again. THese strings just feel and play great!!!!
