I put these on my Bass because I had had a very good experience with Cleartone on other instruments and also because the strings I had been using for Bass went dead and listless pretty quickly. I am happy beyond words. They are bright, have great tone and feel and they hold their tuning better than anything else I have used. These Cleartone Bass Strings helped me go from a good Bass sound to a GREAT Bass sound. I'm done switching around. These bad boys are genuine difference makers WOW

These are by far my favorite bass strings I've ever used. They last long, feel great and help with my overall tone.

***UPDATE 8/1/22I continue to rate these highly and recommend them. However, I was a little concerned that my last set arrived with all the strings packed together in a single paper envelope. I don't think they had been used, but they certainly did not look like they were packed at the factory, which raised some concerns. Perhaps more of an Amazon issue than Cleartone issue.***OPStrings are a personal preference. I find that these work well on my Ibanez SR300DX. Lots of bright pop. I play about 4 hours a week, and I get 6-12 months out of a set, before I start to notice enough dullness that I'm motivated to spring for a new set for a gig. YMMV.

I buy a lot of strings. A lot. I go through a set pretty much every show I play. I generally play d'addario exl160s (roughly $12 a set for the twin pack on amazon- exl160tp), but at the behest of my guitar players I purchased my first set of coated strings in hopes they'd last 3-4 shows and make up for the cost difference or convenience.Out of the box they sound just fine. I sweat on them for half an hour, then thoroughly wiped the strings off with a cloth.These did absolutely no better than the exl160s. I pulled my bass out a day or two later and was dismayed to find out all the strings were as dead or deader than the non coated exl160s. For strings that I'm paying nigh $40 for it's an absolute ripoff to use them for a show and move on.

他のレビューにも見られるように４弦が最初からぼやけすぎかな…、と思います他の弦がなかなかギラギラしているため余計目立ちますね。ただ本当にコーティング弦かと疑いたくなる感触です！そこはメーカーの押し通りになってます。あと弦自体かなり長い(確か３７inch…)のでスーパーロングなどに張る弦が見当たらない方、資金に少し余裕があるようでしたら一度試してみてはどうでしょうか？

Warwickのカスタムショップモデルに張ってある弦（EMP弦）はCleartone製だという話を聞いたので試しに使ってみたのですが、確かにほぼ手触りも音も同じでした。テンション感はダダリオの弦に近いのですが、コーティングのためかややスライドなどはしやすい感じです。出音は多少ハイがギラギラしている感じ。とはいえ、弦アースも取れるし、言われなければコーティング弦だとは気付かないレベルかと思います。耐久性は抜群で、雑に扱っても錆びません。とはいえ、皮脂や手垢などで徐々に音色は変わっていきますが。少なくともアマチュアレベルでは数ヶ月は交換せずに余裕で使えるかと思います。

エリクサー弦を愛用してきましたが、クリアトーン弦が発売されたので、どんなものかと購入しました。ベースに張ってみたところ、エリクサーよりもコーティングは薄く、シャリシャリとした質感でコーティングしているとは思えない感触、弾き心地でした。また、エリクサーよりもテンションは強く、自分にはちょっと強すぎかな？と思いました。エリクサーはコーティングのため、つるつるしている感触ですが、クリアトーンはコーティングしていない弦とほぼ変わらない感触でシャリシャリしている感触でした。こちらは、好き嫌いが別れるところでしょう。まだ張ったばかりで、このテンションや、音質がどれだけ長持ちするかはわかりませんが、エリクサーに比べてコーティングしていない弦により近い感覚で使えるというところが特徴でしょうか。音質的には、ダダリオの弦に似ています。

I can't say enough about these strings. I've been using them exclusively for the past several years on my Ibanez SR500, running through an Ampeg B2R head and Ampeg cabinet, We play about 2 gigs per month and these strings have never let me down. I used to use GHS, I tried the Dean Markley's and these strings simply blow them away. They feel great, last for a long time and the sound is amazing and I commonly get compliments on my bass sound after a show. Cleartone strings have an incredibly bright, clear and punchy sound. When I restring the entire band notices the difference. They have a super light coating that makes them sound amazing and helps them last for a very long time."Medium Gauge Cleartone Coated Bass Strings are made of nickel-plated steel over a hex core. A unique treatment called EMP coats the entire string with an ultrathin protective film. It's the thinnest coating ever applied to bass strings (less than one micron!) and will withstand more abuse from hard strumming than coatings 1000 times thicker! EMP ensures longer string life by protecting strings from corrosion due to skin acidity, salt, and moisture without compromising feel and sound. Made in the USA."The Amazon price is pretty comparable to GC.If you try these strings you won't be disappointed.
