Hands-on review: ZVEX Effects Fuzz Probe

These are the M6000 Bassics Medium gauge strings put out by GHS. Everyone knows GHS for Boomers and not much else. I'm here to say: check these out! They are nickel wound strings gauges 44-106 (yes I know those are weird, yet accurate gauges) roundwound strings.

I was out late one night at Walmart and noticed they have a small selection of mostly budget instruments. I noted they also had strings and saw these for only $5! I thought they are worth a shot because even the cheapest of cheap bass strings usually run $10+ a set. I picked up the remaining 4 sets they had. My regular string choice is D'addario. One set of them in the store is $20. So I felt I was getting a deal of a lifetime.

Price! Can't beat $5 OK, OK, how do they sound? They are good. Not terrible, not amazing just good. I got about 2 months out of them before they started to lose their 'zing' After that I boiled them and got yet another 2 months out of my first set. The tension is good, tuning is good, nothing bad about these.

None whatsoever. I was very pleased with these strings. If I were to nit-pick, these are made in China. I prefer to buy US made strings if I can.

Nickel wound, round wound strings. The finish was very smooth and easy on my fingers. Nothing crazy happened, no obscene fretwear.

If you see these at you local Walmart for $5, buy 'em out! Very good bargain strings.
