Gold Flatwound 040-100 : Pyramid flatwound

11 years ago

After a lot of experimenting - and money wasted - I finally found these strings for my left-handed Gibson SG 30.5 inch short scale bass. Build quality is excellent, like all the Pyramid strings I have used over the years, with a smooth feel, no 'stickiness' and balanced, even tension. I particularly like the green silk ends - makes a change from red or blue! Length is perfect with no 'winding' over the bridge (I have a retro-fitted Hipshot bridge) and no silk on the nut. Tone is clear and even and cuts through the natural 'mudiness' of the SG's 'old skool' humbucker neck pickup give the bass a cleaner, stronger sound than the D'Addarios I had fitted before. I would recommend these strings to anyone wanting flatwounds on an SG bass.
