Review: Good strings - Bright - medium tension - great modern sound - Great bass strings for slapping and a more modern sound. I put these on my EBMM Stingray and they sound great. I watched a bunch of videos mainly comparing Nickel Strings to Stainless Steel and decided that I wanted the brighter sound of the Stainless steel strings. I also ordered the light gauge strings 40-100 as I felt that they would be great for slapping (as opposed to the standard 45-105). Ultimately I am very pleased with the strings. They are bright. They speak well and have good tone across all ranges. They make that "rubbery-metallic-Seinfeld bass" slap sound that I wanted. if you want a deep, classic sound, these can work but there are better options for that. I play a lot of '80s stuff and wanted a sort of Duran Duran/Power station sort of sound.
Review: Great bass Guitar Strings - The stings sound great and last a long time. I use them on most if my basses. Highly recommend them and this seller.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these 34 inches for my Jazz bass?**
A: Yes, they fit a 34" scale instrument.

**Q: Do these fit on any bass**
A: No, not "any" bass. Basses are different sizes. You need to know what you are looking for.

**Q: Are these bass strings round wound?**
A: Yes, definitely round wound. Haven't strung my bass with them yet so I can't say how I like them yet - but I've used other EB bass strings, and I like the tone of SS in general, so these should be pretty good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bright and punchy on P-bass
*by J***C on October 26, 2025*

From now on, I will be putting the stainless steel strings on all of my basses. I'm glad I finally pulled the trigger and bought these. I was hesitant after reading some things online about stainless steel strings being rough to the field, and fret wear. When I pulled these out of the package to string them up, I did notice that they felt a bit rougher and I was concerned about it, but when I put them on my instrument I did not notice this roughness at all. The tone is phenomenal. Very bright and snappy, excellent for clanking out some metal or punk. My bass is a p-based style, with one p bass pickup, which as you might know is fairly bottom and heavy. These strings brought it to life, and how! I am finding that I no longer have to mess with my EQ settings nearly as much after recording to get the bass to sit right in the mix. If you find that your bass guitar is missing that little bit of an extra edge, please do try these strings. I also find that these strings are a great value but that's just my humble opinion.
