Super Nice Strings
Isaac Campos 05.03.2019
Just that...
I find in them anything I need, tone and definition-wise, and I just couldn't be happier with their quality!!!
I like to play around with different tunings, and thet offer a wide range of gauges. Also, the fact that a huge range of singles of any gauge are available to customize sets, is brilliant!!!
From time to time I try other brands, and many are OK, but is just I have found my feel and tone with D'Addario, and I'm always going back to using them.
It's a matter of taste, as always when sound is involved.
For me they're PERFECT, I love them!!!

Excellent quality and good for lower tunings
Vorath 11.07.2021
These seem made to fit lower tunings, i currently have them in Drop C, but honestly i think they would be better in standard C: the higher strings still have quite a bit of tension!
Not to mention: having them in a "drop" style tuning kind of defeats the purpose of the "balanced tension", but the low C string still has good tension and sounds full.

Pros:
- good sound, as always from d'addario
- long lasting (at least when compared to other non coated strings)
- perfect for low tunings or if you just want higher tension and a balanced feel

Neutral:
- the "balanced" feel may take some getting used to
- overall tension of the strings is higher than i anticipated

Cons:
- you "may" need to check if your nut can fit the thicker gauge. I got lucky and did not need any adjustment.

Perfectly Balanced
mjheikki 06.02.2022
Using this as a light 5-string set with an added .035 G. These feel good and work for pretty much every genre. Quite bright out of the pack, but settle in nicely. D'Addario seems to have great quality control - I've used these regularly for years and have yet to get a dud string.

Couldn't live without it for my drop C bass
Bo E. 24.04.2019
These are the only set out there that imo are just right for a 4 string bass tuned to drop C.
Have been looking everywhere, from 5 string sets (and don't use one string) to separate strings (which aren't sold often and get expensive fast).
I hope Daddario never stops making these because I wouldn't know what to do :(
