First of all big thumbs to Bass Bag for super fast delivery. Selected free post within 5 days and received within 1 working day!! As for the Superior Bassworks Deluxe double bass strings I purchased, wow absolutely amazing!! If you're looking for that vintage sound look no further!! After 12 years of using different strings from steels to wackers to guts I finally found what I was looking for. Really deep bass boomy sound on my cheap Chinese plywood I always dreamed of and now the search is over!! 100% recommended!! For info I used the middle 3 gages for EAD and the thinnest for G, works a treat These are not very loud acoustically but the sound is just awesome old school sound, go for it guys!!
