Good longevity

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

Lasts forever.

somewhere between FW and RW

As I am just experimenting with different brands and types of flat wounds it was obvious that I also had to order a set of these to try them. When I put them on my P Bass I was surprised how roundwoundish they sounded. Sound is always hard to explain but there was much more treble and bright tone than I expected. Of course they can´t keep up with a round wound string when it comes to brightness but they definitely have more treble than other flat wound strings. Depends on our taste if you like it, I myself do not. But after playing them 6 weeks or so, they lost a bit of their brightness. The feel for me is a little too rough, I think I might go for Flats with a more classic sound, smoother feel and maybe a little lower tension.
