Ernie Ball 2832 Regular Slinky Round Wound

These Strings are Pretty Nice. I like them. I use them with a Fender US Highway One Jazz Bass. I get a nice tone. These strings are your basic roundwound strings. They are really common. These Strings are a good buy, especially if you dont know what kind of strings to get.

Too sloppy for me

I bought these strings on sale, as a replacement for the Rotosounds that have been on my bass the past 15 yrs. After one practice session, I absolutely hate how sloppy these strings feel. Sound is OK. The strings are a little noisier than what I'm used to from all the slop associated with the slinkiness. I probably won't be keeping these strings on for too much longer.

    Nice zing! Good life. I tried other brands but not one had such a nice zing to it. They last pretty long time and the price is really good considering quality of the product. Also, customer service is always great so there is no reason to go elsewhere. I would highly recommend this brand.

    These bass strings sound very good and aren't difficult to use. They sound very crisp and down tune well. I would use this brand again.

    Any electric bass that's full scale. . These are heavy and you may need to tweak your neck.
