I play a Squier fretless jazz bass(awsome bass) and these strings sound great from the moment you put them on till the moment you take them off. You really get an awsome jazz bass sound. The only complaints I have are that they are a little hard to slap and that after about 3 weeks the strings grip your struming hand. Sure these strings are a little expensive but it's worth it!
I recently became the bass player for a band (I have been mostly a guitar player (acoustic and electric rhythm)). Since then, I have had to pay more attention to my Fender Geddy Lee Jazz bass (I have been using this one for recording). So, I decided to change the factory strings with this RS 77LD after doing lots of research and talking to several bass players and listening to recommendations from my friends at different musical instruments stores (including MF). All I can say is: Why did I wait this long???? WOW!!!No comparison!! I do not need to look for any other strings!! Unbelievable tone!! Deep, warm, great sustain!! With the factory strings, I could not use the bridge pickup because it was way too bright and always had to use the neck pick up with the tone set at around 2-3 (10 being brightest). Now with the RS, not only I can use the bridge pickup, I can set the tone to 10 without degrading the quality of the bass sound with excessive brightness regardless of the pickup I use. No wonder so many artists endorse these strings!!! The finger noise is significantly reduced (I still need to learn bass playing techniques). These strings are also more comfortable with my fingers. Now I need to buy a set for my Fender American Special P-bass I just got (for gigs). Do yourself a favor: buy these strings and close the book in researching bass strings. I just did!!
There's a reason virtually every customer review for the RS77LD's from online retailers like GC is either 4 or 5 stars. The tone on these strings is incredible. The Ibanez I strung these on doesn't even sound remotely the same after tuning up, definitely a huge step up from the roundwounds I had on before.
