The price is right…will definitely be checking these out.

 

[MaxSpinrun]

I definitely want to check these out!

 

[NKBassman]

Now if only I could find a supplier that has these in stock and will ship to Canada...

 

[TheLowDown33]

Very cool. I wonder if they’re hex or round core.

 

[Stranger Danger]

Long enough for string through body on a 35" scale?

 

[Plucky The Bassist]

Hmmm...sounds like a nice fit for my Ibby P-bass. Might slap some of these on to give it more thump

Got a set arriving tomorrow. Excited to try them out over the weekend.

 

[lunarpollen]

flatwound? roundwound?

Using Jacob and Nathan, one of the best rhythm sections in modern music, for the promotional videos (along with an album quality mix) makes this arguably the best promotional footage I’ve ever seen.

Well done Dunlop!

I’ll be picking up a set or two myself

 

[Buggbass85]

Hope they last longer than the stainless

 

[jcburn]

Keen to know if these are hex or round core.
They sound nice.

 

[StayLow]

Dunlop always has great ads. Looking fwd to reviews.

 

[frankie5string]

Well, that's interesting, since I've often heard SS strings described as "slightly mid-scooped"

 

[mikewalker]

Short scale ultra-light set a possibility?

 

[vgbassman]

I wonder how these are different from the "trivium" artist series ...

 

[burgerdj]

Any player reviews of these yet?

Very likely identical, just rebranded and the B is .125 vs .130

I put a 4-string set of these on an American Original 60s Precision a few days ago. I have a couple of hours play on them.

I quite like them. Overall they sound like any good round wound set, they're not too rough, and the tension is OK for me. What I like about these is how consistent they are string-to-string and note-to-note. Some strings seem to magnify quieter and louder notes and these really don't. They seem to make some of those problematic muffled notes sound better and don't emphasis some positions that causes boominess with other strings.

Don't know if they'll become a favorite, but really great so far.

Based on these clips they certainly deliver as promised: Huge deep lows and very aggressive upper mids. The lower mids are a bit scooped, which isn't exactly my idea of nickel "warmth".

Great playing, although not my kind of tone at all. But the player, the bass and the signal chain can obviously make a HUGE difference.

What matters to me is how they will sit in the mix with a passive P-bass. And that's impossible to judge from clips with only bass+drums and the drums panned in a way that gives the bass total dominance. Just about ANY strings could sound MASSIVE in this kind of setting, with this player and this bass/signal chain.

Very cool clips but in reality they're pretty worthless unless you're looking for strings for a drum+bass duo playing aggressive, bass-centric music. In my opinions the tone is too "overcooked" to give an honest impression of what these stings will sound like for most players. I wish Dunlop had included some clips that could give us an impression of what these strings sound like in the context of an actual song/mix.

I look forward to reading user reviews, but based on these clips I will not be first in line to buy them. Don't get me wrong, Dunlop make excellent strings and I'm sure these are no exception, but they're probably not for me. At least not from what I'm hearing so far.
