⭐ Professional Bassist Review
Kazutoshi Shibuya, bassist of Orquesta De La Luz, tested both our Pure Nickel and Stainless Steel models.
"The stainless steel strings completely changed my perception of stainless strings.
They offer excellent playability and remain controlled even during aggressive playing.
I was especially impressed by the strength of their sound within an ensemble.The nickel strings are also outstanding and pair exceptionally well with a Precision Bass.
The sustain of the E string feels very comfortable and brings out even more character from the instrument.I intend to continue using the B-string N-GEN4 as my main bass strings."
