Was this review helpful to you?

yes

no

Feature:
Simple color coded system. And evironmental packs; save the trees=D.

Quality:
Both the G-string and D-string snapped within a weak; while play on fenders they lasted nearly 5 months.

Value:
20 dollar string back for a weak? I'm saving up for a new bass, this isn't gonna help me.

Desirability:
Well; if they are the only strings in the world... i guess ill use them

Sound:
They have a unique "metal" sound; some times cool for funk. However I play in a funk band/ska band and high school jazz band. The strings work ok for ska, but for jazz they sound nasty(not smooth flowing or really... bouncy even when needed).

Support:
Suppoort? where?

Overall:
snapped way to fast(cant pop w/ them).
