Just bought $0.99 Orphee QB290 bass strings from AliExpress.
 
	 
 
	I recorded this demo after an hour of playing. Surprisingly, my fingers aren't bleeding yet 
 
	 
 
	
		
	
	 
 
	 
 
	 
 
	I'll play them for a while and then I'll write something more.
 
	 
 
	There are also other (Premium) options from the same company for like $10. Maybe I'll buy them too and compare.
 
	 
 
	Have any of you had a chance to test them?
