Gold Flatwound 040-105 : Wonderful warm vintage sound

A heavenly sounding bass sound from these strings. I think it even will make cheap bass guitars sound good. It's a very warm deep sound, with maybe a little less "trebly" definition. The sustain is actually very good for these flatwound strings. I made a weird combination using these on my vintage BC Rich Eagle bass from 1977, and it does in fact sound marvellous together. Don't be afraid to combine it with different basses. You will always end up with an at least intresting sound.

The silk on both ends of the strings are purple. That can be worth mentioning, not that I care, but I can imagine it would sometimes look strange on some basses. Anyways, it's a pleasure to play on these strings.
