Dunlop Super Bright Bass Strings put your sound front and center with a crisp, vibrant top end and a fat bottom with a focused fundamental. Carefully designed by our team of bass players and tested by pros on the road, these strings sing with clear, defined highs that are supported by a fat, balanced bottom that keeps your sound full and round. Lighter tension provides a superior response to playing nuances, and the silky smooth feel of each string lets you get up and down the fretboard with ease and comfort. With extra-long life and exceptional string to string balance, Dunlop Super Bright Bass Strings allow the natural voice of your bass to come through. As with everything we make, we started from scratch and designed Dunlop Strings from the ground up to fit our vision of what a string should be. Each of our formulas is developed with on-the-road feedback from some of the greatest players in the world. At our headquarters in Benicia, California, we take a hands-on approach, running our machines at a slower pace and producing smaller batches, which allows us much more control at every step of the process. We also seal them in a protective bag for freshness and longevity. Every set of Dunlop Strings is the result of our obsession with details, which is ultimately an obsession with quality, consistency, and serving your needs as a player. Inside each pack of Dunlop Strings is more than 50 years of deep knowledge and experience gained from working with guitar players to further their playing experience. Made in the USA.

The E D and G strings were ok but the A string sounded like a rubber band being plucked by a wet Qtip The difference is so pronounced that I consider the entire set useless. Buying coated strings next time

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!

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.

I placed the Dunlops on my Fender fretless jazz hoping to add some growl and sing. I am impressed. They sound better than rotosounds in some ways and the highs are very articulate. I recommend

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.

Die Dunlop-Saiten waren für mich mehr oder weniger ein Zufalls-Treffer. Man kann vorher nicht wirklich wissen, wie ein bestimmter Saitensatz klingt. Man muss es einfach ausprobieren. Nachdem ich sie auf meinen Sandberg California draufmontiert und getestet hatte, habe ich gleich für den MusicMan Stingray dieselben bestellt.Der Sound ist brilliant mit vielen Obertönen und trotzdem ausgewogen und nicht zu scharf. Kann ich mir nicht besser vorstellen.

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.
