Top! Between the 105 and these, my heart is torn. But it's a no brainer. It sounds, it lasts, it's balanced, it's pleasant. I used very expensive strings for years. What a waste considering the quality of D'addario.

I've never broken one, they last a long time with good care, for me they are the best nickel wound on the market!

I only use this brand which satisfies me on the Ibanez K5 and LTD 204 metal basses, for me the sound output is impeccable
