Jim Dunlop DBSBS30130 Super Bright Bass Strings, Stainless Steel, Medium.030-.130, 6 Strings/Set

Don't know what happened with the other reviewer, but I've fitted these to a Squier VM Jaguar, a Squier Bronco and an Ibanez Talman TMB30 with no problems, they've all been plenty long enough, with no silk on the saddles or nut.Anyway, the strings are brilliant, easily my favourite flatwounds... much more responsive to the tone knob, you can go from almost roundwound grit to old school thump. Smooth and as shiny as the La Bellas, but more versatile, and without the weird metallic clankiness of the D'Addario Chromes and Rotosounds. If you play a wide range of styles then these are the strings you need.Love 'em, and they seem to be immune to ageing! Can't recommend highly enough.

I bought these as I wanted to experiment with light gauge bass strings. They sounded nice and bright but the E string snapped after less than 2 weeks. This is the 2nd time this has happened with Dunlop strings so I will stick to the brands I know in future. Lesson learned!

Sound-wise and longevity , these strings are up their with the very best on the market. They sound very open, bringing out the true sound of your instrument and its pickups/electronics. The high end is very crisp and clear, mids are tight, more prominent in the high mid range and the low end has an articulate punch. These strings particularly shine when playing slap technique. They are slightly rough to feel but you soon get use to it and the tension is even per string but pretty low. The tension is pretty surprising as they are wrapped onto a hex core which is known to make strings tauter. The con of these strings is alterations to the truss rod and action will probably be needed because of their "loosey goosey" nature which will put some people off. In my opinion , it is worth the minor hassle of this as they're great strings.ADDED NOTE: After playing these strings in a bit, i particularly like their broken in/dying tone over their new "out the packet" sound. They remind me of an old pair of steel strings that have that roundness but keep a bit of bite there! Ive had the current set on my 5 string since October, its now April and they sound at their best right now!

Absolutely incredible strings, regardless of price! (That said, the low price is an added bonus).I use these strings on my fretless, and I can get a Bakithi Kumalo sort of tone with ease if I want to (though a little warmer, perhaps, which is unsurprising as Bakithi uses Dunlop stainless rounds). These strings just sing, and if you're going for the fretless mid-range growl (or 'mwah') these are just perfect. They're a very mid-based strings, but with decent bass and treble overtones; though if you're going for a more modern, hi-fi sound, these may be a little warm for you. As I said, on a fretless, they growl and purr all over the fingerboard, but without that irritating 'clank' that often occurs on a fretless.They also don't wear the fingerboard too badly (compared to steel rounds). The tension is just right: tight enough that you get good note definition but loose enough that they're very easy on the fingerboard. Also, the low B is excellent. A very clear, ringing tone that fits the other strings very well. These strings also seem to vibrate quite loud acoustically, which translates to a very complex tone through an amplifier (they bloom into a mid-based sound with lots of overtones).Considering these strings cost about £20, I'm amazed. I don't see myself using anything else for a long time!

After buying another brand of bass stings for years, and having a few bad (or dead) stings crop up over a time which I had contacted customer services about but got nowhere with. to me they seemed not interested at all, I guess I'm just one insignificant complaint to a massive brand name. I had 4 packs of strings with issues so this was important to me as a loyal customer.Anyway on to these Jim Dunlop 40-100's - These strings are great. To me in a rock outfit & these are bright and zingy without being over the top and they last. First gig I played with these at sound check my band mates thought I'd gotten a new rig or another pickup installed in my bass. They really sing. Recommended.

I'm a funk, blues and jazz bassist utilising mainly fingerstyle, palm muting and slap. I've been using Elixir strings for many years but decided to try these out on a bass I wasn't sure I was keeping and therefore didn't want to spend £40+ on strings. These Nickel Super Brights are a joy on the fingers and sound fantastic unplugged as well as through EQ/amplification. Despite the name, they can thud and thump as well as sounding amazing when's slapping. 95% of the performance of the Elixirs at half the price. Very happy. A slight negative is they can 'roll' under the fingers when bending or using vibrato. I didn't notice this with Elixirs but this isn't enough to put me off buying Dunlop Nicke Super Brights again. Top marks!

theese are perfect for a Fender pecision (elite) they play better than stock or light strings and theese sound AMAZING for clean & especially distorted tones, I play industrial rock, think NIN, APC , TOOL. I wouldent put anything else on my bass. I use the heavy core guitar strings an ALL my guitars too. it just gets results.

I use these on a jazz 5 I have trialled almost every brand , these have the best balance of feel and tone imo after a few hours play time they have a nice thud , I will stick to these on my j got the foreseeable- YMMV
