Same great product quality for decades.
I've been playing bass guitar for forty years, this brand has always been my go to strings. They last for years, hold tune, very good value, and sound better than my playing.

My go-to
My go-to strings! Sound excellent new and broken in, and priced right. When I was a working bassist these were the perfect rounds for me. I can afford more expensive strings now, but I still buy these because I just like them!

Love these for my Fender P Bass!
These are my go to strings for my Fender P Bass! I like the feel of them when playing and they have great tone and brightness to them. They also last a long time for me (playing about 3 hours week). Would definitely recommend!

Great strings for 35"+ scale basses
I recently bought a 35" scale string-through six string bass. I replaced the stock strings with these (plus a C I bought from another manufacturer) and they performed perfectly. They offer clear fundamentals and great feel. I also have these on my string-through 34" scale five (except for the B which I replaced with a .125) and they work just as well. Great all-around set.
