Daddario EPS165-5

I had (still have) a 5 string Fender Squire Jazzbass that sounded not to good.
I have a plan for changing the mics, and gave a superb basplayer a call.
His only reply was, have you tried to change strings, ehhh... nooo....
Do that first, and if not better, maybe strings.

Then i ordered this one, and some other types to be sure.
After change to this one, i got a new sound in my bass.
Like getting a new guitar...

This one deliver the brightness and the bottom i was looking for.
Superb bottom, and nice bright sound.
Have not tried the other yet, once i do, i write this here.

The feel under the fingers is rougher that nickel plated strings, so maybe if you like sliding a lot, be a bit careful. Adding this to the medium gauges in this pack, it means that they can be quite hard to play in standard tuning (34" scale). I have used them mostly in D and D# standard tunings and they were much easier to play.

That said, the sound is nice and bright and are lasting quite a long time (had them on exactly a year since i bought them and am still enjoying them), but as usual your mileage may vary, depending on how much you play and many more variables.

Overall I am very satisfied and will most likely keep buying them.
