Great for slapping and bluegrass/roots, but E-string is too loose!
I like the sound and feel of these strings, very easy on the fingers if you like the occasional slap.
However, on this regular Gut-a-Like set, the E string tends to be too loose which causes weak sustain and worse: colliding with the A string (=bad noises...)!
I do recommend paying the extra and go for the Gut-a-Like Deluxe.
Difference is merely that the A and E-strings are copper-winded.
I have been playing with the regular Gut-a-Like strings for a year and a half, and finally decided to order a seperate Gut-a-Like Deluxe E-string.
Difference is night and day (finally have some sustain on my E and there is enough tension to avoid #MeToo-situations with the A-string.

Lovely warm classic tone
I bought these to play rockabilly on, and they work perfectly. Nice light tension, soft on the fingers and a lovely deep, warm, vintage tone. Sharp, cutting slap tone too, without being tinny and trebley. Well balanced across all strings and easy to play. Only complaint is they feel a bit plasticy when they are fresh, but after some sweat and beer on them, they settle in just fine.

Great for slapping!
These string have a very beautiful vintage look! They look so good on my double bass! They are perfect for slapping style, but also good for normal playing. I shouldn't use them to play with a bow... If you wanna play rockabilly style, these strings are great for you!
