This review is from: D'Addario EXL170-5 5-String Nickel Wound Bass Guitar Strings, Light, 45-130, Long Scale (Electronics)

D'Addario is my go-to string for most of my 7 electric basses. As a semi-professional bassist for more than 30 years I have played every brand out there and I think these sound better and feel better than most other brands. For the price that Amazon sells these at, you cannot beat these for value. The big national music retailers can't match the price, and I get them from Amazon with no sales tax. As an Amazon Prime user, I also don't pay individual shipping. Perfect.
