The best bass strings in terms of tone!
Kyuuga 18.04.2018
There's no other bass strings like the Ernie Ball Slinkys. Tone-wise they're the best you can get. The moment you put these on, especially after you had some dead strings before in your bass, you'll notice a huge sound difference. They're also very easy to play and feel comfortable.

The only downside to them is that they may not last as long as other strings but it's not a huge difference. The tone you get from them is worth the tradeoff.

If you're going to record or play live then I absolutely recommend you load up your bass with a pack of Ernies. There's no other strings like it purely because of the sound you get - crystal clear, very fat and growly.

The sound is really crips and clear!
Brivet 23.08.2021
I've pun on these before going to the studio, and man, even the guy from there told me my bass never sounded this good (we recorded an album before that when I used coated strings, more expensive but the tone was not as good as this one)

They lasted quite a lot of time, too. I will get again this set :)

Bought it 'cause it was cheap, got blown away

Earnie Ball Hybrid Slinky on Fender Mustang Bass,
They give more punch to the sound and maybe because of the way they package the strings, they felt like they came out of the factory today!

Honestly you can really hear a difference.
I'm hoping to see if they will last long or not, but for now I'm pretty happy.

Strings for heavy sound
Pa828 27.08.2015
These strings were the first replacement on my bass and the tone had a great improvement compared to the factory ones..
The sound is quiet balanced on frequencies, good punch, not too bright not even too dull. But, in my opinion they are a good choice if fat tone is what you are looking for. The strings are thick, ideal for slap. In the end the tone is awesome but this is a relatively cheap string set, in fact they don't last as long as I expected, they don't hold their "as new" tone very long.
An important feature to what I pay attention is the protective envelope which helps to avoid early corrosion.

Very good
The Quarry 12.05.2020
I haven't used ernie ball strings in a long time but I'm pleasantly surprised with the clarity and the chimey tone that I get out of them. They also lasted a long time despite constant playing.

Great sounding string set
bukulin 24.12.2017
If you are into the jazz and funk soul and pop music this set of strings could be a good choice. It is used on a Sire Vintage V7, and a five string version is on a RockBass Corvette Basic. Sounds great on both instruments. Strings going to be dead slowly and even if they are well used the sound is not dull. I cannot recommend it for hard and heavy music because the high frequency components are not so articulated as on stainless steel strings. For other genres give it a try.

Strings are fire!
GmanZbass 07.08.2024
I recently switched to Ernie Ball 2833 Hybrid Slinky strings, and they’ve completely transformed my playing. The mix of gauge sizes hits the sweet spot between deep, rich lows and bright, punchy highs. Bending notes is a breeze, but they still hold their tuning even during intense sessions. The tonal clarity is incredible—each note stands out beautifully. Unfortunately, they seem not to last longer than other brands I’ve used, although my bass guitar has never sounded or felt this good.
