I did this short review with the 45-125 Stainless Steel 5 string set.
Feel:
The first thing I notice is that they're a lot less rough than previous roundwound strings I've used. Having just come off of flatwounds, this set feels really nice on my hands.
Sound:
Super bright is an understatement. Maybe the steel is contributing to it but I almost winced after I plugged in. After EQ'ing I noticed that the strings still had a brightness that was definitely more in the vein of funk or modern metal music. I also noticed that the strings are very nuanced. You definitely hear each and every note in your slapping.
Price:
I paid $32 for this set and that's not too bad. I'll see how long the life lasts and edit this review accordingly.
Overall:
I was pretty impressed with them right off the bat. They have a great smooth feel to them and are great if you're playing music that's very dense, such as slap bass.
