I've had trouble with Fender strings breaking but these don't. I have these on my Squier Affinity Series P-Bass and they sound pretty good. I've had them on awhile so they are starting to loose their sound. These are good strings but the next ones I'm going to try out are DR.

I bought these from a store nearby to change the stock strings on my Precision Bass, and they're just simply amazing.

Has a perfect tone, nice feel to it, and it's just great in general.

Totally worth the money, and it's all around great for playing any genre.

These strings are amazing! Every note has more punch than I could get with my old strings. People can hear me from across the house when I play unplugged. This adds the right feel for playing almost any type of music.
