D'Addario

collapse expand iconDescription

ProSteels are D'Addario's brightest and most magnetic bass strings. A specialized steel alloy delivers harmonically rich, brilliant high-end coupled with deep, tight lows that work in tandem to create the coveted "Piano tone" steel players crave. Great for both articulate fingering and aggressive picking, ProSteels give you that little extra edge and punch you need to cut through the mix.

    The heavier gauge on these strings is excellent for lower tunings! Bright, crisp and clear!

  • I have purchased this exact same product before.

    I play with a group of musicians doing early rock and roll with a mix of early country mixed in. The D'Addarios have a great fullness combined with a warm sound, with sustain to spare. Great product, musician friendly pricing, prompt delivery, what else is left to say?

  • Good deal !!!
