Okay, bought these strings after hearing some of my favorite bassists and the awesome tone they get. So, I bought and put them on Friday night. I had a gig on Sunday so I practice for a few hours on Staurday and played a 3 hour gig on Sunday. By the end of the gig they were DEAD. But.....for the 6 or 7 hours that they were working, not bad. Bottom Line: do NOT buy!

I play in a band that plays some Rock, but almost exclusively Reggae. Almost any strings will sound fine when you're playing Rock, but when it comes to Reggae, it's a lot harder to find the right set of strings. I've tried RotoSounds and Ernie Balls, but they don't come close to the tone you get laying down fat basslines using GHS Bass Boomers.

The only downside to these strings is that the tone doesn't last very long. The tone slowly dwindles away after 2 months... but that's expected, I guess. They haven't broken on me yet... except when I was stoned and tried tuning my bass to a guitar's pitch... but that's different, haha.

After 22 years of using these strings I cant use them on my Ibanez SR900 bass guitar. Perhaps Nickel strings arent as magnetic as Stainless steel or Alloy strings. Boomers worked nice with my other bass with Active EMG PJ pickups. Love the feel of these strings. Lets justs says these strings arent for every bass! Enough said.

When I first got my bass, It had crappy stock SIT's. So soon after, I replaced them with the GHS Bass Boomers. Just stretch them out for a day or two, and you'll have no problems. Pretty well priced, and long lasting. Definitely recommended.

Very good strings. I started using these 23 years ago. As far as strings go, I've tried them all, on all sorts of basses. These and the Fender nickle plated 45-105, I have found to be the best IMO.
