I've tried tons of strings from high end to bottom of the barrel, always looking for the best string for the money. Peavey Thermal Fused are by far the best sounding, longest lasting, "best bang for the buck", and easiest on your frets. I play heavy finger style, and with steady practicing and gigging these strings still sound great after two months. I would normally change my strings every other gig, but not anymore...not since I found Peavey.

I play these on my 5 as well as my 4 string. I've never broken one of these strings. I've had these on sense I got my 5 string almost 9 months ago. I love them, they play well and sound great. They last forever, too. Awesome for anybody, but even better for the underground or not so well funded musician.

I play a Peavey Cirrus 5 string Bass (Claro Walnut) and, of course, the stock strings are the Peavey Cirrus strings. These things sound like a new piano when first put on. They are pure sounding, bright, punchy, and the low B is clear, not muddy. They last a long time if you keep them clean.
