I have been playin bass for 42 yrs - off and on - have tried MANY different brands from flat to round wounds...you will NOT find a better brand of string for the money. The longevity and tone you retain with these strings can not be beat. If you're looking for hamonics on a bass string you must be a frustrated guitar player. These strings deliver any sound/punch you should require from you bass. If your looking for more maybe its your bass cause I can GUARENTEE you it is NOT the Blue Steel Strings that are selling you short. I would and will not buy any other brand ! ! FABULOUS Strings. Long Live Dean Markley ! !

I have had these strings for 2 months now, and unlike other strings, THEY STILL WORK! I used to be a sucker for Ernie Ball's "nanoweb technology" scam, thinking that all bass strings lasted just a single month; but once I came across these strings, I felt dooped by Ernie Ball. I practice about 2 hours a day, and I go through strings pretty fast, so I need strings that will last a while so that I won't have to spend $50 every month: these strings get you out of that money wasting rut. Not only have they saved me money, but the tone is great as well, and they stay in their prime longer than other strings. I've looked and looked for strings that will fit my budget and give me the sound I need, and these have solved all of my problems. They work for ALL styles, and have impecable harmonic tone (I don't care what anyone else says). There's no reason to wait, by a pack NOW!

Long life strings

These strings are simply the best. I try others, but honestly in one month they loose the clarity. So 5 years ago I try Blue Steels strings and are simply the best in sound, and have long life with clear sound and that save me a lot of money too!

Best Strings Around...

I have been playing my Ibanez Soundgear SR885 (5-string) since 1991 and I will no put no other type of string on her. The tones are very clear -sharp and precise. My playing influence is primarily Geddy Lee so you need some strings that will respond quickly to match his style. These strings fit the bill perfectly. More importantly, the string life is amazing. My band practices 3+ hours per week at plays at least 2 live 4hour shopws per month. 1 set of these strings lasted 14 months! Do the math - you get great sound and great string life from Blue Steels. Cough the extra dough for the best!
