Dean Markley Blue Steels DOA

[D.I. Joe]

Last night I replaced my usual Rotosounds on my HW-One P bass with some Blue Steels, gauge 50-105, only to find that the D string is completely dead. Seriously, there is more life in a tramp's vest!

I bought these strings from a fellow Basschatter and when they arrived the pack was still in it's cellophane wrap, so this is obviously a dud.

Anyone else had this problem?

Hello there, I am one week into fitting Blue Steels onto my G&L L2000. I thought it might just be my ears but I too have discovered the same problem. EAD absolutely fine, though the G sound insanely weak. It's like it has been cryogenically deactivated. Will be refitting the stock strings tonight.

Geraint from Dean Markley, do you want me to send you them back?

Thanks,

Garry

If I was you I'd email him direct - he did give his address - and he may not be looking at this.

Good point!

Thought I'd add tot he thread incase this is a big issue and it's not just one or two packs.

Cheers,

I used these for a while and they were fabulous until the D string broke then the A.
Excellent sound though.Only stopped using them due to the breakages,might have been unlucky.
Mind you I did have a stadium elite 105 break on me straight out the box apart from that that,s all the broken strings I,ve had in not telling you how many years.

Geraint is a top bloke, he sent me a new set no questions asked. I haven't actually used the replacements yet though as he also sent me some fancy new Helix SS strings which are now on my Precision. I'll get round to a review soon!!
