D'Addario XL ProSteels Bass Strings EPS165, 45-105, 4-String

Hi to everyone here. It’s my first time to buy D addario strings, and I did it on Prosteels rounds. I think these stainless steel strings are among the best as for longevity and as for Sound result. I didn’t see them sound super bright for punchy Funk sounds, unlike with a little palm muting on the bass bridge and with a pick, I can say they sound pretty much the same as flats. Today now 20:57pm I just put them on, on my Jazz B, and I am F....n far too excited by their live sound. Comparing stainless steels and Nickels, I can say, Prosteels are far too better.... and of course I recommend them. I will for sure think of buying also, D addario chrome flats in the near future. I really didn’t expect that D addario would produce such awesome strings. Guys?? Well done, keep it up. You already won one more customer- me!!!! My review is entirely real and decent.

These strings are very much worth the price. I've used these twice for my bass ahead of recordings, and they've always sounded bright and clean for each one without having issues of the strings buzzing on frets (a problem I had with another, cheaper product). Will continue to purchase these strings for my bass since they do such a great job!

These strings are a great set, have a really bright tone, and a good chunky feel to them; im sure these strings will last a while. Willbe buying D'Addarios again!

They are ok replacements.

Perfect set of strings for my Jazz bass. I would play indie rock and Alt style music, and these feel and sound great for it.

If like me you are a bass player who wants the best but are often hampered by budget then these are the strings for you. I am not the sort of person to boil strings to bring them back to life, I play with my fingers incorporating a little bit of slap here and there and always play hard. I find I get good value for money and life expectancy with these strings.

Excellent strings, always sound good.

always a top string for the job

These are by far the best strings I’ve ever used! They have been on my bass guitar for 2 months now and are still punchy and bright. The strings sound really cool when I slap the bass. Very bright on the pluck and nice punch on the low end. When I play finger pick style the strings have that nice stretchy and flexible feel like when I first put them on. Many of the other types of strings I’ve used in the past have gone dead after a couple of weeks but these are still going strong. The .045-.105 diameter of the strings are the perfect balance for me. I highly recommend these strings. You will not be disappointed. The performance is unbelievable. Oh, and the reason I mentioned about how long they have been lasting for me is because I play bass all the time at my church and practice at home every day so my guitar doesn’t just sit in the case. It’s used a lot... lol

While I haven't tried Rotos and DRs which are highly rated these easily blow a ton of strings out of the water. They will eat your frets though as I used to use them on my 5 string P bass for a few years and you can see small indentations into most frets. I've since switched that bass to EB Cobalt flats (which are also killer strings) but put ProSteels on my Donner P bass because I don't mind if those frets only last a decade. Which is about how long I figure you can use these before needing to refret your bass. You'll have a decade of warmth, punch, longevity (these last 6-12 months with regular playing), and a much more exciting sound then I've gotten from any nickle, cobalt, or stainless string I've tried.

Sehr schöne Seite, die den gewünschten Klang bieten. Sehr aggressiv und scheppernd. Hab noch nichts vergleichbares gefunden, ist also das Geld wert.

They are what they say they are, can't expect any more than that.
