    The are as good of nickel plated strings as there are out there. Not too bright, or mellow. Just a great sounding string. How BB sells them for 9.95 I have no idea. Most music stores sell them for much higher. GHS has been making strings for years. You can't go wrong with these especially at this price!

    Not as much as their guitar strings, but definitely too bright. Not enough growl.

    These are easily the best bass strings to buy if you don't want to break the bank. I use these primarily as backups but they sound great. The only hit on them is that the tone quality fades fast like their guitar string counterpart.

    I've tried them all and always go back to GHS Boomers. I've been using them for 20 years. Great reliable strings.

    These are pretty much basic bass strings, and your rating will be a personal preference issue. They were on clearance and do the job fine.

    Guitar Center should be ashamed of themselves for letting an electronics store sell bass strings for $3-5 less than them. Great strings with a bright, but warm tone that cuts well, and they last. I screwed up restringing a bass, and would never have made the closest GC in time before they closed, and was pleasantly surprised to find these.
