Hybrid Slinky Nickel Wound Bass Guitar Strings, 45-105 Gauge (P02833)

They feel really nice and sound full and warm. I liked the Fender strings that came on my classic vibe 70s jazz bass and so those have been my go to, but these share top spot in my ranking of faves.

Great strings, buy if not sure.

I recently dusted off my old Ibanez EDB 600 and decided to restring it and clean it up a bit. I've primarily played with either Elixer or Dean Markley Blue Steels on my basses and after reading that Justin Chancellor plays Ernie Ball I decided to go with the Hybrid Slinks. Holy Christ on a graham cracker crutch, these things are awesome! Not only do they produce a bright, crisp sound on the highs but they also have excellent punch on the mid-range and clear, distinct tones on the low end. Even my 25+ year old Fender amp picks up every note with shocking clarity. Seriously, don't waste anymore money on pricey Elixers or Boomers that promise to "stay bright" a little longer. What you get in marginally increased longevity with these strings you give up in sound and nearly instant improvement to the sound of your bass. Don't be a dope, buy these strings and keep on keeping on.

Fantastic sound and feel from these strings. They were a noticeable upgrade from the strings my Sterling stingray came with. My only issue is that the .105 gets considerably floppy when tuning to drop D. I wish they sold a .110 set of these.

good

Excellent sound and quality

I'll start this off, by saying, that I'm typically a D'Addario XL guy, for 25+ years. I have recently got a couple Warwicks, that use this gauge. (45-105) One of the basses had strings installed that were loose in the nut & didn't feel right on it, so, I figured I'd get some strings to fit the stock gauge. Looking here (Amazon), I ran across these for a good price, so I thought I'd give them a try. I had used Slinky's on my guitar, when I started out in the '80s. These are nickel wound, like the XL's I'm used to, so... To me, they are pretty much on par. I like nickel wounds & these are as good as the D'Addario strings I've used over the years. Kind of funny, the review asks how I rate the "thickness", since this was a purposeful order (by gauge). The thicker gauge, is a little more difficult for some things, as I vibrato a bit, w/ a wide vibrato on things that require it. That rings true though, for the original Warwick strings on my other Warwick. Overall, I'd recommend these, especially for the price. If this is the gauge you want & like nickel wound round, then these are a good quality string.

Siempre será la mejor opción de compra a la hora de adquirir cuerdas, directamente con Ernie ball via Amazon.

Is it my new Earnie Ball strings that make my bass now sound better than it ever has before? Or is is that I got a good friend to set up my bass properly and sort the action out etc? I suspect the latter has more to do with it, but she chose these strings for me (she uses these, too, and she knows more about what she is doing than me!), and all I can say is that my bass now rocks! Sound wise, it does sound better, I think, and that is likely the new strings. I can't comment yet on longevity or durability as they're still quite new. But so far, and for this price, very impressed.

Love these Super Slinky Strings with their punchy sound with bite & slightly looser feel great for bending & vibrato

Amazing strings

Guter Sound.
