    These are nice strings I usually get the same gauge but Ernie ball, the store was out of Ernie ball, so I gave these a try and I rocked all through the night, and I'm still rocking so to make a story short, they're durable and they sound good too.

    I can't tell you how happy I am that BEST BUY sells guitar strings and accessories. D'Adarrio strings are of the highest quality as are many of the other brands offered at your stores!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work by offering these products and thank you again for doing so. Sincerely -------- Jimmy Wilson

    These are a great entry level bass string and I picked them up on clearance at my local Best Buy for $4.99. Not sure if I'd pay much more than $10 for a set of these, but at less than that these are a good deal.

    These are great bass string. And you can't beat the price Theyre selling them for at my local best buy (not sure what theyre selling for at other bestbuys). I've been using this brand of strings for years, and am really happy to find them at such a bargain!

    I purchased these bass strings on clearance since Best Buy doesn't carry instruments anymore for $8.00 a pack. Such a great deal!!

    The quality control of these strings had gone downhill for a while, but D'Addario seems to be back on top of their game. I've gone back to using these exclusively. I can get them just up the street from work and at a great price...

    Tossed these on the night before a gig and a week before we went into the studio...sounded BEAUTIFUL through my bass with active pickups. On the record, it sounds as smooth as warm butter.
