Bright, but also well rounded tones. Hope that helps. **Q: Will these work on rbx jm2 John Myung signature?** A: Hi there, If the scale length of the bass is around 34 or 35 inches it should work. Also John Myung's name appears on the back as an endorsed artists for the strings. Hope this helps! **Q: Which set would be good for drop B?** A: A larger string gauge will produce higher tension. When you drop your tuning that higher tension will help retain note clarity and power. Go for the Power Slinky or buy an even larger 5 string set and use only the biggest 4 strings. You'll have to adjust the truss rod and bridge afterwards. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great stings. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 26 July 2026* Great string good quality and value use them all the time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Sound *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 5 January 2026* Great strings, I am very happy about sound quality ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality strings *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 28 August 2025* Play and sound great on a Yamaha 5 string ## Frequently Bought Together - Ernie Ball 5-String Regular Slinky Nickel Wound Bass Guitar Strings, 45-130 Gauge (P02836) - Ernie Ball Regular Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, 10-46 Gauge (P02221) - Ernie Ball Medium Scale Regular Slinky Nickel Wound Bass Guitar Strings, 45-105 Gauge (P02856) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/50504739-regular-slinky-5-string-nickel-wound-electric-bass-strings-45](https://www.desertcart.be/products/50504739-regular-slinky-5-string-nickel-wound-electric-bass-strings-45) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
