I've been using the Fender 8250 Bass Strings on my Fender Player Plus Precision Bass, and they've truly exceeded my expectations. These strings deliver the deep bass growl that resonates perfectly with my rock and country rock songs. The tapered winding on the low E string provides superior intonation and balance, which makes a noticeable difference in my playing. The nickel-plated construction gives a dynamic sound with a smooth feel, making them a joy to play. I've tried many other strings over the years, but I always find myself coming back to the Fender brand. For the price, these strings offer fantastic quality and sound. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for great bass strings at a reasonable cost.

If you've bought or played a new American made Fender bass in the recent past, then these were the strings on that bass. I liked the way my American Standard Jazz Bass sounded when I bought it so I figured I'd stick with these strings for a little while. I normally like DR Lo Riders on my passive basses, but these strings are pretty decent sounding and less expensive than the DR's. The .110 E string works great for drop D tuning - it doesn't get so floppy. This set is pretty versatile. I can get a nice scooped tone for slap, but still have a decent low mid sound when I favor the bridge pickup for fingerstyle playing, and a nice big rock tone run through a Sansamp BDDI. Enjoy!

These are round-wound string, but they are nickel plated steel windings and round core, so among the roundwounds they are among the warmest sounding ones.The E string is tapered (thinner over the bridge saddle) which I'm not so sure about. I suppose it helps some folks with intonation but you have to set the saddle higher when putting these on.

I have a musicman stingray 5 string. The sound I like is these fender strings and the music man passive pickups for a precision and jazz combination that is solid in clarity but unique to others. The lows are more to the percision bass sound and the highs are leaning a little to the jazz sound. the medium fender strings are perfect except I had to inlarge the string hole on the B string very slightly because the string was exactly the size of the hole. (tight fit) I have Fenders and a Yamaha and have always liked the quality of fender strings. The quality of these strings are legendary and at sale prices a excellent choice.

I have used these strings for several years now I like the 110 e string so I can go to drop down without it getting floppy. The taper gives it a bit more of a piano like sound on the e string. Nickel-plated steel gives it a brightness you don't get from nickel without the raspiness of stainless steel strings.Fender aerodyne p-bass

B string has a slight mis-winding around the 6th fret, like a big dimple that you feel everytime you slide over that spot when playing. Never seen this on a bass string before. The dimple is easily seen with the naked eye, wasn't even trying to look for it. Hoping to get a B-string sent to replace this one. Product support not working through the link in Amazon that takes you to the Fender site.

Sehr gute Saiten, habe sie für meine billige Jazzbass-Kopie gekauft, um den Klang wenigstens ein bisschen näher an einen Fender zu bringen. Was soll ich sagen? Es funktioniert!Besonders anfangs sehr charakteristischer, knurrender/drückender Sound, der allerdings schnell dumpfer/weicher klingt. Die Saiten klingen dennoch gut genug.

These strings came on my Fender Jazz bass. They’re all I’ve played. They’re all I need to play. They sound great. Great price too.
