These Strings are good for metal, rock, and any finger style. Not really good for slap, but thats just my opinion.

These strings are great. I use ernie's on everything I own and the bass strings are no exception. They last for quite a while and age well. I highly recommend these to ANYONE, including my friends. If you try these you will be committed to ernie's just like I am.

I got these string because I had broken my other pair. I had heard many good things about Ernie Ball so I got them, put them on, and at first they sounded amazing. I loved the sound. I've had them on for about a week and now I say don't buy these. If you need a quick fill in on strings and are on a budget, get them. But after the first week, they have a very bland tone for slap, pick, and regular finger playing. And for some reason, I play over an hour every day and when I'm done, my fingers are black from the strings. I don't know if that happened to anyone else but it happened to me.

I bought a pack of these to replace the stock strings on my Viper-104. I have to say these strings are pretty decent. I've played better, but these strings deliver that classic EB quality and tone. Very good for slap and pop.

I got these because my friend told me how good EB's guitar strings are. Different with bass strings though; the tone is REALLY bland. Doesnt sound good with slap, picking, or finger picking. Neutral warmth, half bright. Good price for bass strings though. If you want a great tone, go with DR, rotosound etc. But if your really price restricted, get these.
