      I keep coming back to GHS and I wonder why I ever stopped using them. These bass boomers are perfect. The tension is just right, the tone is punchy in the bottom and the mids, and the top end is clear. For rounds, they aren't screechy at all. I once had a set that lasted me over six years, this latest set may stay on even longer.

      Great quality strings. Im on my tenth set in 2 years. They never break. Great harmonics and pretty easy on the fingers and frets. I highly recommend this product to any bass player.

      These things are loud and clear. They have some serious low end thump, but are still bright on the high end, so they sound great for slap and pop. What I really like about these strings is that they are stiffer than most nickel bass stings. This allows you to keep the action low and keep enough tension on the strings to tune down to drop D or even drop C without the low strings getting too floppy and buzzy. Those who complain about them being hard on the fingers just need to toughen up. I can play on them for two hours a night with no problems. They have a smooth feel, and when playing finger style, your fingers slide right off of them. My only complaint is the red silk ends. I play mostly black basses, one of which is a Music Man Stealth, so the red doesn't match. They should use a black or silver thread so it matches most basses. I easily solved this problem with a black marker though! If you like loud, stable strings that don't flop around and have a smooth feel, get yourself a set.

      I've had these strings on my bass for a while now, and I'm about to change to some Rotosound flatwounds. They're really good strings, and I've been happy with them, they just aren't my sound. I recommend them to any funky bass player, pop n' slap sounds great on them.
