I bought some of these about six months ago. The steels sound really nice on my Euro 4LX. I strung up a buddy's P with the nickels, since he's a guitar player and the sticky eight-year-old set that came on the bass needed to go. Haven't tried the Deep Talkin' rounds yet, but I'll put them on my passive P/J when the old strings die.

Pretty darn good deal!

Yeah, even disregarding the name brand, 30$ for 3 sets is really awesome

It looks like they're all roundwound.

Deep Talkin' Bass is a flat set.

EDIT - Ah shoot you're right... oh well, they will still sound killer.

I thought they were flats too, but regardless its kinda silly not to buy them. If they stay in my basses case for the next 20 years its still a great deal. I wonder about tension too. I've only ever played labella flats and tapes.

I wonder what the difference between the stainless and the deep talkin stainless is, aside from gauge.

OK I'm game- that's too good of a deal to pass up. I'm set for strings for about a year now.
