Ernie Ball Bass 5! Thank you!
As a veteran session and live performance bassist of 45 years, string quality has always been an important aspect. I had tried at least 5 different name-brands before settling on the Ernie Ball "slinky" series. For my vintage fretless 5 string, I use the 2836 regular slinky "Bass 5" set. The strings break in quick and the harmonic response , tonality and flexibility seem to last for up to 8 months even under heavy use! Likewise, the slinky strings don?t "eat" my fingerboard, which is very important when using round wound strings on a fretless bass. I will add to all the above that Ernie Ball bass strings are in my opinion, the best "band for the buck" for any professional bassist .I will remain a loyal endorser of the "Slinky Bass 5" set and highly recommend it as the best all around string to my fellow "5 stringers" for durability, harmonic response and affordability. In 3 words: These Strings last!!!

Perfect in every single way
My only regret in finding out about Ernie Ball is that I wish that I would have found out about them a lot sooner.
D'addario? DR? Forget about those. Get yourself some of these now.
Bright, punchy, warm, long sustain, great longevity, incredible value, GREAT low B string, and works practically for every kind of instrument I have - 4, 5, 6 string bass guitars, fretted and fretless, all genres.

By far my favorite strings!
I have a Musicman Stingray 5 and it came with Ernie Ball strings. I just love the clarity and the punch they give to the tone! They sound phenomenal!

My favorite
Great strings that keeps the brightness over time. Have tried other strings over the years, but always return to the Regular slinky. Going through beteeen 15-20 sets a year, and still not found a "dead" string also tells a story of quality across the produktion.

It's Ernie Ball...
I'm an Ernie Ball user for over a decade now. They are consistent, hadn't had a string break in like forever.
The price is great, choice of gauges is great, availability is great... 5/5, would tattoo it on my arm.

Bought that strings for replacing factory strings on my new guitar. Very good tone and feel, I suppose its the best variant for the price among brands
