760FL Deep Talkin Bass : Flawless

7 years ago

They are superb. I put them on my Jazz Bass and that's pure joy for the ears.

The finishing is very smooth and pleasant to touch and play.

The sound is just as great: you get the classic flatwound "thump" and a good amount of high-mids too, and they get better and better the more you play them (the thump of the E string is much stronger than the other 3 strings, keep that in mind).

One thing that I noted though is that they are a little bit low tension if compared to the stock strings my bass came with (Roundwound d'Addario strings). I never saw a bass coming with flatwounds by default so I suppose that's a thing everybody should know before switching from roundwounds. I had to adjust my truss rod because of that, otherwise they tend to have a high action, but that's not a big deal.

I definitely recommend them to anybody who loves the "thump sound", they are the best.
