Using these D'Addario EPS220 - 5 bass strings is straightforward. First, make sure your bass is a long - scale one with a string scale length of up to 36 7/8 inches. Then, remove the old strings and replace them with these new ones one by one. You can use them for both fingering and picking. When fingering, you'll notice how easy it is to play due to the super - light gauge. For picking, the strings can really cut through the mix. As for maintenance, since they are corrosion - resistant, you don't have to worry too much. But it's still a good idea to wipe them down after each use to keep them clean. Also, store them in their original environmentally - friendly packaging when not in use to ensure they stay fresh.
