Daddario EXL165TP

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!!!

These are my new standard bass strings!
I was looking for bass strings with a good quality/ price ratio.
I have been playing ernie ball slinky strings for quite some time
but I was looking for a cheaper alternative so I blindly bought
the Daddario EXL165TP just because of the 2 sets.

Anyway, the most important thing is the sound, which is great, too:
Great sustain, punchy lows and bright highs.
I play Punk & Hardcore mostly and I always add
some overdrive or fuzz to the sound which also suits
the sttrings sound perfectly, not too muddy not too harsh.

Also, they are really long lasting, it taks some time
until they start losing that brightness
It's a great deal, I will buy them again!

Bought these purely for the double pack and that I've never tried D'Addario strings before. Strung up my Jazz bass with these, and was immediately struck by two things: The bright, full sound and the tension. I did really like the sound of these when I first put them on, but found the tension too high for my liking. After about two weeks, the strings didn't have a particularly great sound and I would consider them 'dead', but then I do crave a very bright and twangy sound.

A lot of people do really like these strings, but they're just not for me and they're not exactly breaking the bank.

These D'Addario strings are affordable and long lasting and best of all, there were two sets for a very reasonable price. Got a very bright sound from them. They area great for casual use as I got about six months use out of one set. So basically a year worth of bass playing goodness from the pack itself! They are made from nickel, which is cheaper than your regular Rotosound or Ernie Ball round wounds that I would typically use but the price that Thomann were charging was simply too good to turn down! I believe more string makers should be making multi sets with professional musicians in mind and D'Addario certainly made a good set here.
