Very reliable strings, pull your dives, and rip out on the whammy without worrying about one snapping off and taking out the bassist eye!

THE most reliable strings I've used so far.

Your general opinion of this product.
Compared to alot of other strings I've used, these, without a doubt, have last the longest (I've used them for about 3 months without them breaking... changed them out to try some Elixer strings, which are not as good), and I like the bright tone they give. You can get good bends and harmonics with these, and Dimebag used these strings! What more can I say? They are built to last... well, for a good long time!

Well, far as strings go, these are treated strings, though they don't feel like it.

These are kinda bright, but you can still get a good chunk outta these.
Finish

There is no paint on these strings... so yeah.

Uh... I get plenty of action... no worries here.

Worked Really Good, Until Now
Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
I probably got a bad batch because they broke a month after replacing my old DR's, and DR's usually last a long time. Other than that, the strings played very well.

After about 2 1/2 weeks, the big E string uncoiled it's self around the bridge area, and just today the A string did the same. I clean the strings after every time I play, and take excellent care of my guitar, so I don't know why the strings gave out so soon. If Dime played them, they should be the toughest strings out there!
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
These strings actually played really good, despite their short life for me.

They were smooth and fast, no problem sliding down the neck.

They had a really deep, chunky tone, which was what I was looking for.
