Very Nice Light Strings

Decided to try them out and very impressed.
Very light feel to them, which was a nice change.
Easy to play on for hours.
Would recommend if you are curious about trying them.

Beautiful Tone

Aaron482 14.02.2015

I love these strings as a high quality set of strings with a beautiful tone. You have the high end twang for defining notes and finger actions but also the powerful low ends which give you the vibrating rumble that you can feel in your chest. I'd use these whilst playing in an orchestral rhythm section, jazz and soul music.

The classic industry standard – Punchy, bright, and reliable

ZeTRukes 16.02.2026

This was the set I used before changing to my current Elixir Nanowebs. And the Ernie Ball Super Slinky (.045 - .125) is a fantastic industry standard.
The tone is undeniably punchy with a lot of high-end "zing," which is perfect if you want your bass to cut through the mix with a very organic feel. However,I eventually felt the need for a bit more tension and fundamental on the low B. Moving from this .125 to a .130 (as I did later with the Elixirs) provided that extra "muscle" and stability I was looking for.
If you prefer a slightly lighter feel and a very "bouncy" string response for slap or fast fingerstyle, this .125 set is excellent. It’s a reliable, professional set that offers great mid-range growl. A classic choice that never disappoints in terms of initial tone regarding the cost, you can buy 2 sets of these instead of a set of more expensive strings

Excellent price and they were adequate. Needed them for a recording, they sounded great but didn't exactly blow my mind. That said I am not complaining as they did exactly what I wanted and I would definitely consider buying them again.
