Is anyone using them ?
I found them from local store for resonable price.
I´m specially interested about the 50-110 Nickel set.

I was given a few sets at the NAMM show. I put a set on one of my basses & they sound fine. I gave away a set to a friend & he liked them as well.

I used them for a short while. They were at best mediocre, and when they went dead they sounded awful. I had several sets and gave them away. Save your money and buy some decent strings.

I'm late chiming in...

I actually like these strings. They are basically an Ernie Ball slinky type sounding string. They are relatively inexpensive, they sound pretty good, and they are durable. There are better strings out there, but these are pretty good for what you spend. As a Lakland player that has a string through loading bridge, I'd like to see them accommodate a winding length which would accommodate this for a 35" scale length.
