ECB80 Chromes : Flatwounds that seem to fit any style

I was looking for flatwounds for my USA Fender P Bass. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, as I had always used round wounds, but wow, was I impressed! First thing I noticed was the great sound. Obviously new strings will always have a sparkle to them, but I wasn't expecting flatwounds to sounds so lively. Of course some of that sparkle fades after time, but does so in a smooth way and the nice harmonics and overall rich tones remain. They are so easy to play and almost buttery smooth on the fingers and their slinky nature makes bending easy, which is important to me. I think I've found my bass strings of choice. A friend of mine put a set of these on his squire P Bass and what an improvement it made.
