Ernie Ball 6-String Long Scale Slinky Nickel Wound Bass Guitar Strings, 32-130 Gauge (P02838)

Excellent. I use these on a six string fretted bass and on a five string fretless. I like the sound, feel, and suppleness of these strings.

Great quality! I absolutely loved them!

I have a Gio 6 string bass that I picked up used and the strings were at least a couple years old. I paid $100 for the bass, so didn't want to spend a ton on new strings. These fit the bill. The Ernie Ball Slinky 6's are a very good middle-of-the-road sounding string set. While they've now settled and broken in, I can still tell they have that fresh sound. I wouldn't call them bright, but they have good presence. For my other basses I will use DR Sunbeams, or D'Addario NYXL's or Ernie Ball Cobalt Flats (I love the EBCF's on my Yamaha bass) and the Slinkys, though a bit different sounding than the other round wound strings have a nice sound and good feel. If you don't want to spend $30, $40 or more for a six string set, try these.

I've always used Ernie Ball on my electric guitarist but when I bought a six-string bass and decided to try them over some other brands. I really like the brightness the tight bottom end and how well they sound it straight out of the pack.

As you can see in the picture I'm a huge fan of Ernie Ball strings. After I clean my new 6 string bass I'll slap em on and see how they sound.

This string is always good in both, quality & sound.

El paquete llegó como se muestra en la imagen! Excelentes cuerdas!

After years of using D'Addario strings on my bass, I decided to try Ernie Balls for a change, mainly because they were a little cheaper. I have no real complaints. They're good strings, and have a good sound, but I like the D'Addarios a little better. This may be simply because I'm used to them, and this makes me biased. Either way, in the future I'll stick with what I know. Again, these are fine strings, hold up well, keep their tone well. They're just not for me.

Já sou fã de ErnieBall de 5c e essa foi minha primeira de 6c e o padrão de qualidade e timbre são os mesmo.. . aprovado

Great sounding and well made strings. You can go past Ernie Ball.

He probado muchas marcas y recomendaciones. No tengo problema con el precio. Estas cuerdas tienen un sonido muy balanceado, con una brillantez excelente, que si bien algunas otras marcas también lo tienen al principio, no les dura el mismo tiempo que a estas. Son mis favoritas para bajo de 6 cuerdas y son long-scale. Mi bajo es un Ibanez BTB-676.

They are better quality than expected!! Solid, you feel it in the weight , fits perfectly

I don't usually use Ernie Ball strings but I bought these because they were a good price and on the off chance. I was glad I did, I have to say, as an all round string for playing at home, practicing and general noodling etc, they're absolutely spot on. They have a nice bright tone but not overly clanky, they feel nice under the fingers, not too much string noise, length was good as I have a string-thru bridge, and they sound nice when playing chords over many strings. I will be buying these again when I come to replacement as I think they are not only great value, but a great string in their own right. I use Fast Fret on the strings before and after use so they have lasted a very long time and have retained quite a lot of their bright tone and playability. I would recommend that you do similar with either Fast Fret or the D'Addario Waves equivalent. You can buy oil top ups for the little pads when they go dry too which saves a few quid and keeps your strings going longer.
