Ernie Ball 2834 Super Slinky

Ces cordes améliore les capacités d'une basse même une basse de qualité moindre! J'ai reçu en réparation une "basse" (en réalité c'était un manche de basse monté sur un corps de less paul 6 cordes) (faites attention à ce que vous achetez sur internet) ;-) J'ai corrigé l'angle du manche pour que l'action(hauteur des cordes) soit acceptable. A mon étonnement ce jeu de cordes rend crédible cet hybride insensé. Cela manque un peut de brillant mais c'est la faute des humbuckers qui sont toujours plus "sombre" que les single coils. Merci Ernie Ball

When I first got my stingray bass these were the strings that came with it. Tried different types of strings after that in the course of 3 years but always came back to this set. To me this set is to bass strings what stingray is to bass guitars. You can play pretty much everything with them.

A classic-well balanced gauging, right amount of flexibility across the neck, right amount of grip-resistance. Tone wise, they're very responsive. You can easily achieve a gnarling, aggressive or a much more mellow, round sound with them. Thus they can handle pretty much any playing style. They are a little bit on the bright side; if you want a darker sound and less brightness (for picking or reggae for instance) you can just dial it in on the eq and strings wont fight back in tone.

They do lose their brightness after a certain amount of playing but they last much longer than most of the other strings I tried and the "gnarling" never goes away. Highly recommended.

What can I add?...

Great strings for that good-all-round feel.

Fantastic sound. I love the sound of a freshly restrung bass and these didn't disappoint.

Great quality. As you'd expect from Ernie Ball.

Strings are subjective. Most players have already worked out what their favourite sounds is already, so if you like these, you're probably buying them anyway.

But, if you're looking to take a punt on something for the sake of a change, you can do much, much worse.

Great product backed by the excellent Thomann customer service.

These are simply the best bass strings I've ever used. I have 3 bass guitars, an active schecter, a fender Jass and a precision 'copy' I made myself and I've used a variety of strings over the years and these stay in tune better than any of the others that I've used. The winding seems to be smaller, giving them more mass and so a better sound. The schecter, which doesn't get used very often has had the same strings on for a few years now, and mine have not tarnished at all.

When I started on bass I made the mistake of using cheap strings the main problem was that each string had a different volume as the weights and mass was not very well balanced. That's easy to sort on a guitar by adjusting the screws in the pickups, but much harder to do on a bass, but the slinky were a good matched weight and I don't get that problem. I think good strings are the cheapest way to improve your sound.

I use the Ernie Ball 2834 Super Slinky Strings on my J-Bass Copy. There is nothing else to say than: perfect!
Sound: Nice funky sound, but also good for rock stuff or even some soul (especially when the strings are a bit older).They made my very cheap knock-off Jazz-Bass sound a lot better.
Quality: The strings don?t keep their brilliance clean sound (in the heights) very long. (Maybe because of my sweaty hands?!). But even after that loss of the clean heights they keep their characteristic growly sound in some way. On top of that I never had a dead or a broken string in one of my many packs (unlike some other companies strings).
All in all I?m just going to repeat myself: Perfect! They made my instrument sound a lot better!
