Review: Five Stars - Good
Review: Really good - Perfect. I was worried that the strings wouldn't be long enough because I have a 24 feet 6 string bass but I had to clip them down because the strings were huge. Plus, I got 'players circle' points with D'Addario and I've ordered a pack of picks for my guitar for free!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ nel mio caso corde difettose - AGGIORNO PER CORRETTEZZA
*by P***O on 2 April 2019*

AGGIORNAMENTO: me culpa, il problema era del basso e non delle corde, o meglio del sistema di ponte che ha: Ibanez SR1206 con ponte Monorail IV: facevo un errore madornale nel settare l'intonazione, che permette di essere serrata dopo le regolazioni. in sostanza: allentavo la selletta, allentavo la corda, regolavo l'intonazione, SERRAVO la selletta e riaccordavo. l'errore era serrare prima di accordare, perchè la corda, essendo ancorata direttamente alla parte mobile della selletta, doveva essere in tensione per muoverla del tutto, e quindi serrandola prima non si intonava bene. capito questo, tutto intonato con tutte le corde. torno ad essere aficionado delle D'Addario nickel! __________________ sono un fedele cliente di D'Addario da tempo, le uso su vari bassi, e volevo usare le nickel 32-135 sul nuovo 6 corde che ho preso. purtroppo tre corde su sei erano difettose, non si intonavano in nessun modo (Si basso, Mi e Re), rimanendo sempre calanti, addirittura con oltre 20 centesimi di tono su tutta la corda, impossibili da usare. La, Sol e Do perfette. ho preso una muta di D'addario Prosteel 32-130, e si è intonata tutta senza problemi, anche sul Re (della medesima scalatura). non ho fatto alcun reso perchè ovviamente non è un difetto "visibile", quindi sono stati 30€ buttati. impossibile recuperare le corde per altri bassi, in quanto sono difettose a corde alterne... peccato.
