Daddario EXL170S

I have played bass since 1996, have good gear and I am picky about tone and quality.

I put this set of strings on my MIK Danelectro Longhorn Pro model (which is an upgraded version with better hardware). The bass is used at both at home but also with my band, playing rock and blues from 1950s and forward.

Tension and feel seems normal for a nickel string, bending is easy - especially on the 30" scale Longhorn.
Tone is balanced, rounded lows, thick mids and clean top end, not aggresive at all.

When new, these strings were almost too bright for the Longhorn, but it was a nice, guitar like "twang". After a while, the tone got more mellow, and stayed there for some time. However, after a bit too short time (I think), the E string started getting darker and darker. It still works fine with the full band, but when the other instrumens have breaks etc, the tone is a bit dull.

However, the price is not so high, so I still think it is acceptable. There are better options, if you need long life time.
