I use these as the heart of my short scale 6 string. They have a balance and feel that are like a well prepared canvas. Whatever tones or colors I feel fit - they are there for the ride. On their own, they are a perfect all-around, ready for anything string. Whether they are on a passive P-Bass, or going through an active, colorful, thumping pre-amp, they make you sound like YOU. And that's a lot to ask for something that is the main mechanism of a stringed instrument. No gimmicks, no Witches Brew; just solid fundamentals and consistency note to note. Theses strings are the ones that bring out the innate tones of your pickups, pre-amps, and amplifiers. Not to mention the real tone machines - your fingers and creativity.
