Jim Dunlop Super Bright Stainless Steel Bass Strings 45-125 | 5-String

Make sure you put your strings on right and they will sound very bright and thumping heavy evenly. I play in a Metal band and I definitely like these for what I do. These are more affordable than DR Hi-Beams and I am just as satisfied. You can definitely slap clean with these. I play heavy and hard, Great for Death Metal or other extreme genres wanting more clank out of their sound. I play in Drop A# on a 4 string Ltd TA-600 35" Scale, and a C standard on a Epiphone Thunderbird 34" Scale, these have the right amount of tension and feel, not super tight and not loose, just perfect for my needs, whether you play with your fingers like me, or use a pick , you're gonna love these. I use these to play live and I use these in the studio. These strings will last a good while before they break, I've had them on another bass for over a year, before I started playing live and recording again, just take care of them and while and clean them after playing and the brightness will last longer. I do recommend let them settle and stretch for a day before recording, and they will stay in tune. I highly recommend Dunlop strings for any musician, they will have something that will suit your needs whether it's guitar or bass for metal music or rock, or any other genre they are the perfect string maker and they got you covered.

These strings have been used by many different famous players and have been endorsed de tension. Durability and play ability of these strings is excellent. Yes, he will sacrifice individual wrapping and perhaps find a hole in the plastic bag. It comes in, but as often as we change strings, the date codes have always been new and they just deliver the perfect five string sound for this tour

These strings have comfortable loose feel, but don't have quite as full range a tone as the DR hi-beams. They seem to keep their brightness a little longer than most strings and have a good punch in the midrange. Good 'bite' but not aggressive sounding, on a brightness scale I rate them 8/10.

Dunlop Super Bright stainless steel strings have longer life than Rotosounds. Do not waste your time with Rotosound stainless steel strings. Rotos go dead in 3 days.. while Dunlop Super Brights retain their zing for months. For the standard 4-string gauge of 45-105.... there are no better stainless steel or nickel round wound strings on the market. I use Dunlop Super Brights on many of my basses including Spector Euro Classic 4, Gibson Rex Brown Thunderbird, Fender Duff McKagan Deluxe Precision, G&L Tributes LB-100 & JB, Epiphone Embassy, Ibanez Talman and Ibanez ATK. Good price on these strings. Highly recommended for bassists who seek the even "piano-like" tone on their strings... with plenty of highs, mids and LOWs.

Excellent quality strings. They are indeed bright, but nothing you can't manage with the Treble pot. At the same time they actually have a very nice full and deep boom as well. I fell back in love with my bass guitar. The stainless steel feels softer to the touch and more grippy than my old nickel wound strings, which I consider a bonus. The color is more light blue-ish than the nickel wound strrings which in comparison have a more yellow-ish sheen. On my black bass this looks pretty cool. The low B string is not floppy, the E is solid and the A is my favorite. Great steady tone. The D and G are on the thin side but play very well, with a nice bright sound when popped.

If you play bass, you have probably heard about these strings. The stainless version has a "grippy" feel, which some may not like, but I like knowing that if my finger placement is not correct they will not tend to slip as much. I would not consider them rough, though (a fear some have with stainless steel roundwounds). They are also quite flexible for their diameter/size. If you like stiff strings, you will probably want to get a heavier set than the 40/100 or try another brand that is less flexible (like DR Lo-Riders). The super brights live up to their name out of the box, but tame down quite a bit after a few hours playing. They are still a bright string though. They have a good, somewhat "growly" sound when played fingerstyle or with a pick, and have great clarity when slapped. It is very impressive how clear open E is with this string.

I've been using these for quite awhile now. These have a great feel and I love the tension. The 120 "B" string is so articulate and not floppy. Most of all the price is right. To the guys that keep saying they are breaking "G" strings I'd say it is something you're doing. In 4 years I have never had one break!

This is an edit to my review below. After this set I purchased a set of the strings I normally use and had the same issue. It wasn't the strings, it was ME. I guess I had a brain-fart and strung them up wrong. I'm changing my rating to 5 because the string that were properly strung sounded great. I will purchase again when I need new string. D and G strings sound great. The E sound a bit worn and the A is completely dead. The A has a really wierd sound that I can't describe. Many of the previous views are similar. I thought I'd give the a try for the price. You get what you pay for. In this case, poor quality control.

My son tried a few types before these strings. He says they r good quality and a nice sound from them on his bass. They seem to have lasted longer than others he tried before.

Jimdunlop, calidad y buen precio, no había probado este tipo, brillo y graves para disfrutar.

These are strung up on my Musicman String Ray and they sound fantastic. Clear, crisp and punchy sound perfect for slap and funk tones. Durability is very good as well, I usually play quite aggressively and get through the super light D'addario super lights in about 2-3 weeks if not sooner but these lasted a good 6-8 weeks before they needed replacing. They feel fantastic and at a very competitive price. I won't be changing strings for a while.
