JF 346 : Yep, they've got their reputation for a reason!

11 years ago

These strings are great, really, really great. They are slick to the touch and have just the right amount of tension on my 35" 6 string bass. I replaced my previous round wounds with these flats, as the previous strings were just too bright for my taste. These have that nice low 'thump' and a fantastic tone that is harmonically rich throughout the full range. I use these with my MTD USA.

I have used these strings now for a fair time, and have found that they last really well. You could probably get away with never changing them if you took care of them and wiped them down. I still make good use of slapping and popping occasionally too, and the EQ can make up for the 'less bright' tone of these compared to rounds to my tastes.

Very much recommended.
