Good roundwound strings for Bass VI/Baritone instrument

wgen 08.11.2016

I bought these strings for my 30" scale instrument, and I used these strings because they are the right choice if you have a fixed, NON-TREM bridge, because they are a little shorter than the D'Addario counterparts. D'Addarios are good if you have a guitar with a long trem, instead, because they are some inch longer than these Ernie Balls.
The tone is bright and full at the beginning, and it remains quite good and warm if you wish to keep those for some months. Tension is medium, but if you are willing to tune the .90 string in low E, for that Bass VI tuning, it will be a little floppy in my experience. But any .90 string tuned in low E will be like that in my opinion, so it's not a flaw of these strings I guess.

Great if you're playing baritone as a second guitar

Works well with orchestra tuned guitar as a counterpart. The E-tuning is not necessary though, and I recommend this set for other tunings as well. Nice sustain, and no breakups. Ernie Ball all the way!

These strings are great value for money and it would be nice if Ernie Ball would introduce a set of flatwound Bass VI strings at their sensible prices. A bit of extra string length would be appreciated for those baritone guitars that are fitted with vibrato arms. Having said all of that, these are a no-brainer at the price.

damn this brand

I don't know if they're fake or just downright bad, but every time i try "Ernie Ball" strings, they break just after I put them on a guitar. This time I couldn't even tune the 20w from this set, it snapped.
I'll stay away from this brand.
I suggest instead Dunlop or Elixir.
