## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you play bass with a pick these are a must try!
*by J***N on June 4, 2025*

I have a Fender Mod Shop P bass which is my primary bass and 99% of the time I play that bass with a pick. (Insert pick vs finger style comments here:) At any rate nearly every round wound set I’ve tried was too harsh and tinny with a pick particularly in the higher end of the fret board. Regardless of how I EQed it, or iif I used different pick gauges it just didn’t sound right to me. BTW the sound I was chasing ranged from McCartney to the Police, from U2 to John Mayer.I put these XL chromes on and instantly they “sounded right “ to me, with a pick played between the pickup and the bridge. In fact I find I can really modulate the tone depending on the gauge of pick. They have great punch and growl, are pretty bright for flats and the tension is fairly light. Like everyone else I love the smooth feel of the flats, the lack of string noise and reduced concern about fret wear.If you’re a bass player who uses s pick like me you’ll probably love these strings! Cheers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Bass Strings - Hands Down!!
*by D***V on June 20, 2025*

Why did you pick this product vs others?:For you bass guitar players that want deep rich bass and a comfortable feel without all the scratchy finger noise, these are the strings to get! They are solid performers that play well and stay in tune. Well worth the money. Before you order make sure you know the scale of your guitar because these strings come in different sizes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth every penny
*by B***A on June 26, 2025*

Great sounding strings I put them on my four string bass and throw away the G string never used it when I was turning it down to E now I’m tuned down to B my Spector and my vintage p bass handle them well I love the tone and lower notes
