We asked benhearnbass.co.uk to review these strings for us.  Here's what he had to say:

"Clear highs and tight lows: the D'Addario XL Nickel Wound bass guitar string sets produce a bright, but rounded sound that sits fantastically well in just about any situation! A brilliant all-round bass string.

Whether you play rock, metal, funk, pop, soul, disco (I could go on), you will find that the D'Addario nickels pack a huge punch and are great for fingerstyle, pick playing and slap. These strings boast impressive clarity across the entire range of the bass guitar.

The biggest advantage of these nickel-plated strings is that they last a long time without sounding dull. Not only that but the nickel coating protects your frets from premature wear.

D'Addario offer incredible consistency from set to set. Personally, I have been using them for years and never had a bad pack!

If you are looking for a great well-rounded bass string, with the best of everything that roundwound strings have to offer, look no further."
