Review: Nice string, the taper makes a big difference - I was struggling with my "dead" or "thumpy" B string on my 5-string bass, then I read on-line that a tapered string can make a difference. Although skeptical I decided to commit. Glad I did, my B string sounds a lot closer to the other 4 strings, and has a nice focus. I've only had it on for a month so it's hard to gauge longevity, but I remain hopeful. So far so good, highly recommended!
Review: I found the tapered B to be clearer and more ... - I found the tapered B to be clearer and more growly than the regular B. But it may not so different on other basses.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice string, the taper makes a big difference
*by C***A on January 16, 2026*

I was struggling with my "dead" or "thumpy" B string on my 5-string bass, then I read on-line that a tapered string can make a difference. Although skeptical I decided to commit. Glad I did, my B string sounds a lot closer to the other 4 strings, and has a nice focus. I've only had it on for a month so it's hard to gauge longevity, but I remain hopeful. So far so good, highly recommended!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I found the tapered B to be clearer and more ...
*by S***K on April 12, 2018*

I found the tapered B to be clearer and more growly than the regular B. But it may not so different on other basses.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Way better than the non tapered version of this same string
*by J***N on December 27, 2018*

I bought a 5 set, the low B was pretty bad in terms of consistent volume and clarity compared to the rest of the strings. I bought this tapered string in the hopes of clearing that up, it's way better. This should be the string that comes in the 5 string set (45125nyxl) by default IMO.
