The Wow Factor
Musical Background: Starving musician. Been playing bass for 10-12 years.
Music Style: Mostly metal
Back to Product Information
Sound: Nice and bright, with just enough growl. Good consistency string to string, and set to set. The only strings I play are DR's. Feature: They don't seem to need to be stretched nearly as much as other strings. I love that. I usually tune them about 1/2 to a full step sharp, and stretch them several times, and then tune them accurately once all of them are on. I never have intonation problems after that. Ease of Use: They string up just like any other string, but seem to have a little more flex to them. Quality: Always consistent. great strings. Value: You get what you pay for. Pay $12 for a 5 string set, you get a cheap-ass set of strings. Pay $40, and you'll be happy with them. Manufacturer Support: Never needed it. The Wow Factor: Great strings make you sound better, and make you more confident, because everything feels right. And that makes the ladies like you. Overall: I won't use any other strings than DR's. Used to use Blue Steels, but they go dead really fast. These don't. 'nuff said.
