Review: ProSteels are fantastic- versatile tone with a little bit of age on them - This is the second set of ProSteels that I have purchased for my G&L M-2500. They're crunchy/bright for the first 3-6 months of life, then sound complex and absolutely amazing for the next 3 years or so (with regular wipe-downs)- very versatile! They're a little more rough under the fingers that nickle strings, but tension is about what you'd expect- not too soft or too stiff. My highest recommendation!
Review: Great bass strings. - I am not a bassist, I'm a guitarist, but I own basses. And I've had bad luck with bass strings in the past. Not these. These showed up, and they installed very easily. And they play well. Not that that's surprising coming from a brand like D'Addario. Would definitely buy again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ProSteels are fantastic- versatile tone with a little bit of age on them
*by J***S on November 26, 2025*

This is the second set of ProSteels that I have purchased for my G&L M-2500. They're crunchy/bright for the first 3-6 months of life, then sound complex and absolutely amazing for the next 3 years or so (with regular wipe-downs)- very versatile!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great bass strings.
*by T***E on January 15, 2026*

I am not a bassist, I'm a guitarist, but I own basses. And I've had bad luck with bass strings in the past. Not these. These showed up, and they installed very easily. And they play well. Not that that's surprising coming from a brand like D'Addario. Would definitely buy again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bass clang? Check!
*by A***R on February 1, 2026*

I wish I tried these years ago! Love the tone, finally have that bass clang combined with my Sansamp pedal. I play fingerstyle and they don't feel any different than nickelwound. The price is attractive, too, and I've purchased a few more since.
