Available with invisible coating or color coated. Review: The turned out to be great looking and sound string sets. They are much closer to Elixirs in sound then not - Aurora Electric Guitar Strings 9 Gauge Blue Made in the USA, little hard to find for overall selection but the color seems more durable than DR Handmade strings with the color shades. The Aurora tone is great but more like Elixirs then the DR's Handmade (and so far, last like handmade or about 15 minutes if you touch them) but otherwise which sound more like first hour of playing in-coated D Addario restrings. DR Handmade-Very nice percussive attack with a well-defined middle register sibilance and voice. Delicate color coating; so delicate corrosion benefit. Aurora- Very well balanced and otherwise sound more like elite coated strings like Elixir sets. Guitar pickups want magnetic alloys so not sure how much of those acoustic characteristic transfer in electrical terms. Aurora -The color is highly dependent on the unwound strings for a truly anodized or iridescent sheen effect. Buying more, and love the color, but would like more variety. Purple is very cool! DR Handmade – The color is very uniform and looks fantastic for display instruments, just don’t use them so the unique look is preserved. NO iridescent but still cool, Red and White really pop for some reason. Pink is also loud but difficult to distinguish from the Red from a distance. The Lime green is totally neon and awesome. Aurora - Will continue to buy for rehearsal and performance instruments. DR Handmade- Will buy for display instruments only. The price is about the same on average. Review: Love the color - I got these so I can see my strings in low light because my vision is less than perfect. I was impressed by the quality and sound. The color does wear off in time where you pick, but this is expected and does not change the sound as far as I can tell. I love the way the color really sets off a guitar. Kind of gives it a custom look. I will use these again for sure. I was using Dr. Neon also but see no difference in quality. I got this brand becausr Dr. was out of a color I wanted in this gauge. I will continue to use these strings. ## Features - 100% made in the USA - Silver plated steel composition - Lasts up to 3-4 times ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002VY9OK0 | | Best Sellers Rank | #125,708 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #864 in Electric Guitar Strings | | Brand Name | Strings by Aurora | | Coating Description | coated | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (21) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00896637001004 | | Instrument | Bass Guitar | | Manufacturer | Strings by Aurora | | Manufacturer Part Number | AURBLU10-46 | | Model Number | AURBL9-42 | | String Gauge | .009 | | String Material Type | Nickel | | UPC | 896637001004 | | Warranty Description | Full replacement if defective, must be returned within 30 days from purchase date. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Strings by Aurora - **Color:** Black - **Instrument:** Bass Guitar - **String Gauge:** .009 - **String Material Type:** Nickel ## Images ![Aurora Strings Premium AURBL9-42 AURBL9-42 Nickel Plated Bass Guitar Strings, Light - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91SFIE5EQ7L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The turned out to be great looking and sound string sets.
