If you like the gauges
I have no problem with the sound - tough, but clear. Great intonation. All five strings sound the same - unlike with some 'prestigious' string makers. Sold, last long, can take the abuse. Great for touring and never changing your strings.
My only gripe are the gauges, but they are not unusual - I just don't get the 0.05" they lose on the A & E strings. It results in an uneven playing feel in comparison to the D & G strings. I'm happy with a fatter low-B. If I wanted to use these, I'd have to buy them as single strings, or as two sets, or a set and two added single strings.
If that doesn't bother you and you don't mind harder strings that are a little rough, these are great. If Ernie Ball did a set of 40-60-80-100-125 they'd be my second set of choice. Great quality, just - for my liking - odd gauges as a set.
Sound: Conventional, especially after bashing them in. Similar to GHS Stainless Steels. Solid, but not overbearingly modern. Probably good for rock, which I don't play.
Deffo worth a go if you're currently shopping around for affordable, solid players.

This are overall good strings, they have a nice punch, but I am divided by the sound of them, sometimes I like it sometimes not, maybe just takes time to get used to it. Fair price, considering other strings.

Regular well balanced Strings
I bought these strings for my Ibanez RD650 bass guitar, wich has quite an harmonic sound, so i was searching for matching strings.
These bass strings do nocht have too much highs but quite a good low-end. Exactly what i was searching for.
So these strings sound a little unspectaculary but for classical rock perfect.
I normally change my strings every two month, using non-coated steel strings. These strings lost their sound after a shorter time, so you have to change them more often, but the price is quite low, so this is not the problem.
For heavy music i would recommend other strings, like darrio pro steels, which do have a lot more highs und a stronger punch.
I like these strings, but i changed my gear to reach a different sound, so i stopped using them.
