Dean MarkleyElectric Bass Guitar Strings 2674 Blue Steel Electric Long Scale 45-105 Medium Light Gauge, Cryogenically Processed for Longer Life

I tried D'Addarios, RotoSound, Fender, Elixir, Ernie Ball, and possibly one or two others I don't recall. Came across the Dean Markley 'Blue Steels' at a NAMM show years ago; two-sets for the price of one. Stringed my Fender 'P', let the neck settle in, tuned, set-up, and played through an SWR-400 w/4.1x10 Hartke. Punchy, but not too bright or tinny. Low-end, sustain and slightly growling or staccato. With proper care, I have played on these strings through two-months of rehearsals, and first half of a three week run. They can be a little difficult to find at the music stores... ordered two-sets for pick-up at Amazon 'Hub'. Won't make that mistake again.

I personally love these strings and have been using them for about 30 years. I like them for guitar and bass. I am usually using drop D or C tuning so I prefer the heaviest gauge versions available (drop D or heavy for guitar and extra medium for bass) and they get great sustain at low tuning (I recently bought a fender meterora bass and the strings that came with it would just flap around, I was so happy after I replaced them with heavier gauge blue steels, it was like a totally different guitar after the change over). For me the these achieve the perfect tone, nice and bright. Strings preference is always a personal choice so I can't say if these are right for everyone. But they are top quality and I rarely have an break while playing and I definitely have never had any break during installation.

Always maintain their brilliance

Not much to say, fire.

Perfect strings for my Epiphone Jack Casady signature bass!!

I have used these for decades for 4 and 5 string basses but they are getting a bit sparse. I hope they don't get phased out. I love the full tone, balance, and richness in both high and bottom notes, especially for live stage work. They have always been consistent. Never had one break or unwind....ever.

Very good evenly balanced strings with a chimey top, and a good solid center to it. Growls nicely on an MTD five with rosewood board and maple over ash top. They settle-in to a really good sound after 2 weeks but since I like new strings, I change them about every month or less. They are round core so they give a bit and are more flexible than pro steels which are hex core. Ive tried many types and I always come back to these Blue steels for my MTD because they just have such a great warm but solid sound. They can sound aggressive or warm depending on EQ. They are much richer than nickel strings because they have so much more harmonic content. You can really hear the complex over tones on certain notes, especially when new. Nickel strings have a stronger fundamental with less overtones and sound a bit rubbery. These will definitely sound cleaner and brighter. Great for Pop, Rock, Funk, Praise n worship, Urban Gospel sound, but I would go with nickel if I were playing Jazz exclusively.

Ya me duraron bastante, mantienen su brillo

Buenas cuerdas, pero tampoco son la octava maravilla, aunque por el precio suenan bien.

ハズレだっただけでしょうけど、交換時に切れました。なので音や弾きやすさも分からず。そこそこの値段でこれはちょっと・・・

Love the feel and sound of these strings. For use on a Fender Precision.
