Dunlop strings

[mic mac moe]

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?

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.

I think at the next string change, it could be flats for my P!!

I bought these as an experiment, fairly priced on ebay

I'm a fan of the Dunlop standard 'black label' strings. Super Brights were just too loose for me.

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...

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.

What do you use for a c# tuning mate? I get uncomfortable with drop d! 😆

I’ve been on these for a while. Best I’ve found, just wish they did them in steels.

If you like XLs I would try SITs or DR Sunbeams.

I used them for a while, but found they didn't last that long compared to some other makes.

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
