mic mac moe Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I've jumped ship from my usual rotosound to try these. 45-105 super bright nickel. I have to say, so far so good. Sound killer on my Precision, nice feel, good tension and more importantly, consistent tone across all strings. Anyone else a fan? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) I’ve got a set of Dunlop flats in the same gauge on my ‘covers band’ bass and they’re great. Had them for a couple of years now and I’m still loving them. I’ve had super brights before though, and they were great too.

mic mac moe Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 I bought these as an experiment, fairly priced on ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The59Sound Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I'm a fan of the Dunlop standard 'black label' strings. Super Brights were just too loose for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 LOVE superbrights. I have the Nickel set on my MTD Super 5 - the feel & tension is perfect for me. Got a set of Dunlop Flats on my 5 string Sandberg P which I’ve had on for a while and am really enjoying too, though I may switch that over to Superbrights too. We’ll see... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Wishbone Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I like the tone of the Superbrights and the range of heavy gauges available (I downtune to drop C# most of the time) but I couldn't get on with the low tension. Certainly good sounding strings for not a lot of cash, all the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get uncomfortable with drop d! 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Wishbone Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I’ve been on these for a while. Best I’ve found, just wish they did them in steels. https://www.gak.co.uk/en/daddario-exl160bt-balanced-tension-bass/88882?gclid=CjwKCAjwzqPcBRAnEiwAzKRgS0_YKAIlx8cngqLnt9swdHBb828pR3eW1nlhP9iKFZREVLSLYlQYIhoCGB0QAvD_BwE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The59Sound Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 If you like XLs I would try SITs or DR Sunbeams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highfox Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I used them for a while, but found they didn't last that long compared to some other makes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see how long they last. Part of my long term trial. I'm happy with em so far, but if they don't last, I may need to rethink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
