D’Addario: innovative strings since 1680

When you go with D’Addario, you receive far more than a great set of strings. You’re benefiting from three centuries of string-making experience. The D’Addario family tradition began in 1680 in the tiny town of Salle, Italy, where they made assorted instrument strings for over 200 years before relocating to New York in 1905. Since then, the D’Addario family has become a leader in string innovation. They designed the modern winding machine, introduced ultra-reliable hexagonal core wires, and pioneered the colored-coded ball end movement. More than 300 years since the family started making strings, D’Addario continues to set a global standard for quality and reliability. And every day, more than 500,000 strings emerge from their USA-based workshops.

I'm Blown Away! WOW!

I purchased these strings to replace some "dead" Rotosound ones on my Squier J-Bass (Modified with DiMarzio pickups, American CTS pots / Orange drop cap, and string-through bridge mod). The old Rotosounds were the same gauge but stainless steel. While restringing I could immediately notice the "balanced tension" effect. ALL of the strings seem to have the same tension up and down the neck and fretting is practically effortless! The tone...AMAZING! Deep bass but amazing sustain and rich harmonics. I am completely blown away by these- they are crazy good! I have a very good feeling that these are going to quickly become my favorite strings. These are initially way better than any other brand of string I have ever used and I can't say enough about the tone. BUY THESE!
