Flats for my Fender Jazz

Bought these flats for my Fender Jazz, the silk windings are the perfect length for bridge mounted strings (for through body you need the extra extra long sets) and the silk starts at the perfect place at the other end just past the nut.

Somewhat bright but otherwise great

It may be just me, however I was expecting a deeper low end whereas these are almost as bright as the Elixir Nanoweb I've tested before. With that said, they are silky smooth with a great feel and great tone apart from my personal expectation. They were a bit sticky on the hands at first but that stickiness only lasted for two days of playing.

New favourite bass strings

These are great strings. I don't know what it is about them - they have a very gentle metallic twang and give you lots of lovely overtones and harmonics. They're also very easy on your fingertips and just feel lighter than regular roundwounds of the same gauge. They have the added benefit that they are much more resistant to tarnishing the nickel steels. I seem to be able to tarnish guitar strings in a couple of hours (less so bass strings) but these stay really nice and clean. They're also very easy to re-polish with a little stainless steel cleaner.

Lovely strings

Smooth to play and great sound. Transformed my jazz bass. Could never go back to standard strings.

My gateway drug into flatwounds

I used to hate flats for their so called dull and lifeless sound and swore by the rounds. Something eventually clicked in me and I decided to pull the trigger and just try them for just once. So, I fell in love with flats, their strong fundamental tone and especially the way they feel under the fingers. I guess it was an acquired taste for me.

Good longevity

Sound isn't anything special for me. If anything, it sounds maybe too dull for my taste.

Lasts forever.

Almost 10 years of satisfaction

Confortable to play, lasting.

amazing feel and tone

I love these on my acoustic bass.... the feel and the tone is amazing.

Awesome!

I had never tried flatwounds, this is really cool!!!

Slap changes a bit but I am more a regular finger playing, good good!

Great strings

I have been using Daddario strings for four years and they offer the best sound/durability ratio at this price point. I have yet to find an issue with them, it seems that I am sticking to Daddario for now!
