Super 250B6 Nickel Plated Steel Bass VI Guitar Strings - .024-.100 Review

Perfect strings for the bass vi

Floppy E no more. If you've got a bass vi, get these strings. Perfect tension, feel, and tone. Just got done with a gig. Love my Squier bass VI even more.

Ibanez Crossover SCR6/ Bass VI

The string length works perfectly with the stock Ibanez SCR6 without bunching, being questionably short, or having to unwind a portion. They sound great and intonate nicely, even down to drop d on this 30" scale VI. Their gauges are a little on the light side for my taste, but for a ready-to-order bass VI set with an E over .084, it's a small victory. I've had them on for a month… read more and they're still glassy. Classy. Time will tell, but I'm not unimpressed out of the gate. I might be back to raise this score to a 5/5 if these hold up.

Exactly what I was looking for.

No more floppy low E. All the same gauge strings as a standard four string bass for low strings. Has that Fender bass string tone that you can't get anywhere else. Good price. Don't know why a Bass VI doesn't come strung with these to begin with. No complaints.

.024, .034, .044, .065, .080, .100 Set is better, not perfect though

The .100" low E is so much better than the .084 that Fender used to offer and D'Addario still offers. My Squier VI actually sounds like a bass now! However, the G, B and high E strings are the same size as the .024-.084 set. The difference in gauge between the D and G string of .021" makes the strings feel a bit awkward, but the do sound fairly balanced through an amp. Overall,… read more they are much better than the .024-.084 strings.

Finally, correct Bass VI strings

I am writing in reference to the new, white package of Fender Bass VI strings. This set is not the too-thin strings the other reviewer is complaining about but a newly made, much thicker set of strings. Finally, a low E string thick enough to intonate correctly and have correct tension. These are the best Bass VI strings to date, I've played Fender's 90s set and the LaBella strings.… read more The number one issue with Bass VI strings is string gauge, and this one gets it right. You can pay twice as much for the LaBella's, but you will get a 0.095 low E, not the 0.100 low E this set contains. That may not sound like much, but it makes a huge difference at the 30" scale of the Bass VI.
