awesome projection
was skeptical about medium gauge 50-135 tension initially but man these prosteels deliver insane brightness. playing rock lines has become so much fun now because the B string doesn't sound muddy at all.

good steel quality and tone
Picked this up because I wanted a brighter sound on my long scale bass. The stainless steel wrap wire gives a very crisp attack and punchy lows that stand out during practice. Delivery was fast and packaging was secure.
