Cheaper than ernie ball, not quite as bright, but a hell of a string set nonetheless.

Still my favourite bass strings
I have been using these strings for several years now on my j-style basses and been using them for different kinds of music (pop, reggae, jazz, old school funk, blues).
The D?Addarios sound well balanced to my ears and are suitable for many styles of music.
They deliver a quite well balanced tone with a good ?zing? but they do not sound too aggressive.
I think the playability and feel of the D?Addario strings is just right - not too sloppy not to stiff
The ball ends of the strings are colour coded, which is a nice touch, that makes changing strings even easier.
I play roughly 1 to 2 hours a day and never had problems with rust/oxidation on the strings (I wipe them down with a cloth after playing, though)
How long do they sound fresh? Really depends on how much you play them:
I play/practice around 1 hour a day and found out that after about 1 week the sound has mellowed out pretty much, which, for me is only a concern if you need a lot of high-end in your sound (slap).
Bottom line:
Well balanced and well-proven bass strings at a good price. Good also for beginners that want to find out what?s their favourite tone.

great bass strings!
sound really good and the life span is great.
Great for the price too, don't make me miss the more expensive ones I usually use.

Great strings!
Best strings if you want smooth feel of flat wound strings and open, clear, penetrating sound of round wounds. Excellent built quality.

These strings must be a classic by now...
The D'Addario nickelwounds are well-made, easy to play, feel smooth on your fingers and keep a good sound for quite some time. I would describe the sound as balanced. These strings can do quite a lot: I really liked them on a fretless-bass, loved them on my fretted Jazz-Basses and they even got me playing with the tone-knob more often because they react very musically. They are by no means perfect for every style of music there is, but they are good enough for most of them. And the low price is another big plus!

Nice strings
I use this strings with my fender p-bass. It sounds very good with this strings, length of this strings is enough, I don't have any problems at all.
I actually a big fan of d'Addario strings and my opinion may be not objective on 100%, but anyway, this strings are very nice, I definitely sure. =)
