Killer strings for killer sound
This is the first time I used strings like these (coated). I mostly play extreme metal and I use some distortion with high tremble. Zero noise, great feel and killer metallic sound.
I use 1 tone down tuning which I think is the most suitable for this size of the string (50-110). And all this at such a great price. Totally recommendedRead full review...

Better than your average strings
These strings are so easy on the fingers. Since I am a novice, the steel strings were a bit much on my fingers. I saw these when I was looking to re-string my bass and thought the black would look good on the red wood. I was right, they looked awesome and to my surprise didn’t hurt my fingers at all. They sounded great too!Read full review...

Great quality and good sounding strings at a great price!
Excellent strings!! Great tone that lasts a good long time, months later, these strings still have great tone. Very comfortable on the hands and with the heavier gauge, you still have good string tension when tuning down a half step. String coating does not wear off, like some other coated strings do.
Try 'em, you'll like 'em !!!Read full review...

great strings great price
I thought I already reviwed these, unpowered they sound like piano strings which sounded oddly cool but powered they are less tinny than non coated strings and I like the lower timbre? of the high G string than the thinner mediums. and this price is like 8 bucks cheaper than anywhere else.Read full review...

Tone
I absolutely love the look, sound and feel of coated strings vs. Uncoated. Punchy and warm when you want it but lets the highs pierce through nicely. Well balanced. Though as a rule with many coated strings, if you frequently attack with a pick, you will eventually wear the coating off on that section though i haven't noticed any change in sound.Read full review...

Great strings
I love them but they went a little dull after one show not as bright the next day first time this has happened? Or would have given 5stars!

Quality string ..
These strings perhaps don't have the sustain of no-coated strings , but make-up for it in other areas . Black Beauties have tone others don't , just the right amount of bend-ability with a round core . They are easier on your frets , visually appealing , and if Geezer Butler is on board , enough said .Read full review...

Great strings
These strings have an amazing tone, feel comfortable and, due to the coating, great durability. I use them on all of my guitars (3 basses and 2 6 strings) and will keep on using them!

Great strings, great looksqa
Excellent choice for clear, bright notes that are unaffected by the coating. Awesome black color that lasts. At this price, I couldn't say no.
