NYXL bass guitar strings thump harder, bend farther, and sound thicker than any bass string you’ve played before. As our premium uncoated bass string, NYXL bass strings provide higher break strength, enhanced tuning stability, and accentuated harmonics where it counts. Using a NY Steel core, Fusion Twist technology, and premium nickel-plated steel wrap wire, with a reengineered core-to-wrap ratio, NYXL bass guitar strings deliver extra versatility, familiar feel, and a boosted tone that’ll expand the scope of your low-end. Made for 5-string basses, this 45-130 Regular Light gauge set takes our most popular gauge and adds a low B-string.

These are the best strings I've had the pleasure of playing with thus far. These are open roundwounds, which have a nice ring to them. Highly recommended by a YouTube guitar/Bass player by the name of David Funk.

Super great material for such a lower price!!! They feel super nice to slide on and make my sons bass feel much lighter and sound clearer!! They fit perfectly too!

I was one of the lucky few who got to try out the NYXL bass strings before they were released. I have been a fan of D'Addario for years, and these strings quickly became my favorite. I have used the regular round wound strings before and thought those were good. These are a notch higher in sound and quality.The sound is similar, but I would have to say that notes are louder and cleaner. I found it easier to hear myself in the mix during live performances. I also found that the strings sounded better longer than the regular strings from D'Addario. So I could play these strings for a longer amount of time before changing them out. I think that is worth the price right there!If you are looking for strings that last a long time and push your sound to a new level then buy a set now!

I'm new to bass, but I've been buying NYXL strings for my Stratocaster for a while now. Excellent, excellent strings. I replaced whatever strings came on my 70s classic vibe Squire bass I had, and these sounds brighter with the tone up, and deeper with the tone down. Sounds amazing, even on a cheap fender amp. Pricey, but worth it!

Year after year of using these strings, these just perform better than no other! Great longevity and durability. Tone is incredible, bright, punchy, piano-y, just the way I like it. I tried NYXTs for a little while, but they weren't as bright and didn't sustain as well. Went back to NYXLs and I'm happy again!

When doing some rando research on the net, I saw some people raving about these strings. I bought some for a guitar that I had being shipped to me that was in super rough shape, and I knew had some broken strings. So a set of these (guitar of course) were the first things to go on it. And to my surprise, the guitar sounded beautiful. So now that it was time to replace the strings on my bass, I figured why not give these a try as well. My CT had Boomers on it when Carl sent it to me back in May. I was planning to replace those identically; because if that was Carl's go to, it made sense to me. But throwing caution to the wind, I bought the D'Addario's instead. Boy I couldnt be happier. They sound absolutely amazing. They play very nicely. Feel great on my fingers. And my CT just sounds amazing with them.BTW - It is mentioned on the Amazon listing; but worth restating. Dont forget that there is a code on the inner plastic bag holding the strings. I forgot about it for the guitar strings I bought. Luckily I placed my Boomers in the bag in case I wanted to put them back on later, and then remembered a few days later. Every 8 sets of strings gets you enough points for a free set. And points are equated to the value of the product bought, and can be applied to any other product. So a few sets of bass strings will net a free set of guitar strings, etc.

Las cuerdas venían totalmente nuevas, sin defectos y muy bien empacadas. Tienen un sonido muy claro y brillante. Yo las utilizó con afinación drop en C y mantienen muy definido el tono grave pero sin perder brillo.

As a newer bass player, I had always used Ernie Ball strings or whatever was cheap. Now that I’m performing weekly and practicing 4 days per week, I figured it was time to step up to a better string. There isn’t as much of a difference in the other similar strings I’ve used, but I am going to be looking for a custom string setup. The E and A strings are nice, the D string is nice until you get past the 12th feet, and the G string sounds like it’s made of tin. Maybe it’s the strings, maybe it’s the bass, but I’ve used better strings and I’ve used worse. I’d buy them again if I needed some strings quick, but these aren’t my preference.

Non ho sperimentato molti tipi di corde, perché da quando ho provato queste vado sempre sul sicuro! Le uso per rock/metal, hanno un suono bello pieno e tengono bene l'accordatura anche in drop tune. Consigliate!

初めて購入しましたSADOWSKY METROに張っています。古いロックに合うか‥本当ならフラットラウンド弦にいきたかったのですが、選曲的に全ては厳しいためこちらにしてみました。音質的にはギラギラ感が抑えられていて、使いやすかったです。張ってすぐな感じの音ではなく、そこそこ安定した音色だとも感じました。ただ若干滑らかさがなく、そこが指ざわり的に気になりました。パッケージから出した時のヨレヨレ感にもちょっと?っとなりましたが‥感触等は個人個人で違いますので参考程度に‥
