Harley Benton Valuestrings Bass 45-105

The strings themselves are ok and can compare to other low level strings, but the cloth winding at the end without the ball starts wat too early and cover the first half of the first fret on the E string ????????????????????????????????
That is a first for me and of cause it destroys the sound of the string completely.
Buy better strings if use use the E string on your bass - or maybe I was just unlucky ???

I had read good reviews of these strings, and have always been pleasantly surprised about the Harley Benton brand, so i decided to buy a whole bunch of these.
Sadly, these did not live up to expectation. I have gone through 3-4 sets of these, and on at least 2 of them the E string has sounded dead from the start, as if it had been used before. I would suggest the Warwick strings instead. Although they cost almost twice as much, they are still cheap.
