After buying my Spector bass I decided to try these strings. I was not impressed at all, they almost sound wore out right out of the package. I will never buy these again. I'm going back to GHS until I find something else I like better. Perhaps they would sound better on a different brand bass (different wood). Maybe a solid maple body with neck thru.
