Jamie I have used them and the quality is superb. I normally use Martin M540 plain ol' 12-54 PB's as they are cheap, warm sounding and I change 'em every 3 to 4 shows. But I had some "throw in with my order" strings from Sweetwater that were a 3-pk of the Dunlop 12-54 PB's after I researched how they make their own strings, machines and new facility...well I was very impressed at how smooth and warm they felt and sounded. Nothing out of this world, but the quality of the ball end, wrap and all looks of excellent quality.
I think they are worth a try if you like strings that are on the warm side of the spectrum; they are comparable tonally to John Pearse 600L but a little smoother and they are not zingy when first put on. Kinda like the original DR Rares used to be but better.
Free shipping at Strings and Beyond right now, I just ordered 3 sets this morning at $5.49 a pack vs my usual Martin M540 which are $4.29 (but I order 20 and they give me 15% off, so I get 'em for 3.65)....
