Feature:
They last forever.

Quality:
I do keep a backup set or two. Once I was in Paducah, KY, for a week and broke my G string the first night. There was no music store. Not that anybody probably noticed, but I played out the gigs on 3 strings. Some other brand, of course.

Value:
The best.

Desirability:
Strings have sex appeal?

Sound:
I've been playing bass for 40 years. I started with the old Fender 40 undersea cables. D'Addario strings hold their tone much longer than any other string I've ever used. I'm one of those people who use strings until they break, and these never break. They record well, and even hold up for years at the beach. I can't imagine using another brand.

Ease of Use:
There's a manual?

Support:
Never talked with them.

Overall:
I'm using strings I bought in the '80s. I can say no more.
