DBMMS45105 Marcus Miller Super Bright Bass Guitar Strings - .045-.105 Medium 4-string Review

Sounds great, for a bit

Pros: Lower tension that most strings. They take less effort to pluck, which is great No surprise, they're great to slap Slap tone is excellent Cons: Only really excels for slap. Other styles don't sound as good. It ages very poorly and quickly. The bright sounded faded for me in about two weeks. A lot of the bass and mids just disappear. They don't sound fatter with age like… read more most strings, just thinner. No amount of amp tweaking really makes them sound good to my ears once they age. They're great if you change strings every two weeks or so and primarily slap, but I think for other kinds of players it's not an ideal choice. I hope their secret for looser string tension can be matched with a more well-rounded tone and aging.

Kick Butt!!!

These strings are the bee's knees! Put them on the day of your next gig and sl I like aap 'em around for a half an hour.Pack up your bass and gear and get them to the venue! Kick-*** tone tonight is what you get. I had a smile on my face all night the 1st night I tried them. They also stay fresher longer than other brands. I boiled them twice also with great results. I change strings… read more quite often so that was a bonus too. I like 'em when their crisp and these baby's are crispy!!! I'll never play with anything else again. Thanks Mr.Dunlop!

Loving them

I replaced 1 year old (probably older) ErnieBall Slinky strings with these, and I'm hooked. The difference is insane. They are super bright, but very enjoyable and good sounding once they get settled in and start to mellow. Distortion is a dream, and slapping is super fun now (really struggled to get the right sounds on the EB's). I would definitely recommend these, and they are… read more my go-to strings moving forward. Thanks to Roq Martin for the help!
