Quality is great. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by F***. on 2 February 2021* So I bought these for my Schecter Hellcat VI. I had searched for the stock strings with no luck. LaBella makes a set specifically for the Hellcat and they're very nice, but at ≈$40 per set they're a bit pricey. These Ernie Ball stings are nice. The tension is better and tone are better than the stock strings were. My only issue is that the low E string did not have a tapered end and the string almost does not fit through the hole on the tuning peg. They work without needing to make any modifications, they could just be a bit better. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ernie Ball Slinky 6-String w/ small ball end 29 5/8 scale Bass Guitar Strings - 20-90 Gauge - Ernie Ball P02839 Slinky 6-String w/ small ball end 29 5/8 scale Baritone Guitar Strings - 13-72 Gauge - D'Addario Guitar Strings - XL Nickel Electric Guitar Strings - EXL157 - Perfect Intonation, Consistent Feel, Reliable Durability - For 6 String Guitars - 14-68 Medium Baritone --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/263008785-6-string-short-scale-bass-slinky-nickel-wound-electric-guitar](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/263008785-6-string-short-scale-bass-slinky-nickel-wound-electric-guitar) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
