## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Game changer.
*by A***R on November 6, 2021*

I’ve had the same string in for about 5 months I don’t play five strings a lot but when I do I need the string to not be floppy like most bass that are with 34 inch scale length. The 145 is exactly what is needed for that b string it’s so clear and sounds great super thick with that string. The thing that makes it different tho is the taper at the end it makes for easy string change and a set up for super low action could not do this with out it. Will purchase again if I ever need to haha. It seems the thicker the string the longer it last for.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect with EXL170 strings
*by G***H on April 20, 2025*

These are the perfect match with EXL170 strings. Clear, articulate, and feels nice.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Drop G Bass Tuning
*by C***N on June 20, 2024*

I’m a bit of a metal head so I play metal at home and with my bands. My nut needed to be sanded down as I knew when I bought it because going from a .105 to a .170 is a large step. I put on some orange nickel di’darrio strings, or however you spell it just to keep the same general tone of strings. Pretty steep price but the combo was 48$ instead of the 60$ that Dingwall and others sell it for. I figure it costs so much because it’s wrapped 3 times instead of 2 and it’s a special order. I think it was a good investment for me.
