So you re looking for a brand new set of bass strings? Well, I guess that as a newbie on this matter I should keep my mouth shut but it happens that I hope this serves as an example for other users to share their knowledge... So, here we have a set of a thrustworthy brand and it s nickel finish. These are called roundwound strings with a standard gauge suitable for any user from entry level to expert. As far as I know, nickel strings have a smooth feel on the fingers and on the frets and from my experience I d say this set appears to have a medium tension with decent highs, good mids and greeeaaat lows!... Aside from frequency and touch description, the tension is something you need to test by yourself. It s a charateristic you ll get to know better with time and practice. If you re a rookie, at the beginning you might want to try less tension on your fingers till you get them strong as well as light gauge strings so you can get the feeling for the strings under your fingers. Summary: I play rock, metal, jazz and funk with these and I d say you won t get better strings for less as you won t get much better for twice the price of this set. Better and cheaper than the strings everybody uses: RS66 s...
