This review is from: D'Addario EXL170-5TP Twin Pack 5-String Bass Guitar Strings

I switched over to D'addario after years of Using Ernie Ball, only because the store I was shopping at was out of the Ernie Balls. After restringing my bass I noticed Far better clarity and a brighter sound(not cheapened) that never dulled over time like the Ernie Balls did after a month.
My Only beef with these is your 4th string is only a .100, would be great if it was a 105, it's a happy medium between this and the 160-5 set.
And just to give you a heads up, I have these fitting perfect and not floppy on my bass tuned (low to high) GCGCF, and they sound great.
I personally can't see spending more money on a set of strings when you can have these under $25. Trust me, I've used the more expensive ones like DR, they don't match up.
