Dean Markley 2680 Blue Steel 5 Bass MED

I wont use anything else but these.

Even if I was given free strings by a well known company, I don't feel anything competes with these.

I use these on both guitar and bass religiously. Sounds fresh for a long time and very durable.

My first guitar currently has Blue Steels on it and I barely pick that thing up any more but they still sound decent after a a year. For a professional player, on my main axe, I change these monthly to keep the tension.

F*** Anything else.

Fine sound, but with a little weird finger feeling

Bought a set just to try them and I really liked them! A bit lower tension than what I'm used to (I like stiff strings), and a bit sticky at first, but I've got used to them quickly. The tone is bright, with a solid bottom. I play an Xotic XJ-Core 5 passive, and it made the instrument sounds very alive! Will buy more as soon as they are available again!
