I got my circle k bass strings 166 112 82 61 45 set.. got shocked by the packaging

for those who are about to order and wonder what they look like close up

heres a shot of the B string's of the tuner end (not the ball end)

The B string looks like the Warwick strings.

Now if that 166 B string is not tight, nothing will be!
Let us know your observations once you try them.

for a start, im playing in G# D# G# C# F# tuning. ( YES PERIPHERY!)

the 166 b string is superb, very good clarity and tension.

However you might have to file your nut slightly to fit in that fat string and make sure the B string is able to go through your bass's bridge loader. You also have to consider if the B string would be too near the fret ends, especially at the 1st ,2nd and 3rd frets.

oh yes one more thing, u might have to file your bridge saddle as well or change a new one to accommodate to the new positioning of the B string.
