DR Strings Legend Flatwound FL5-45

The best flats for me

I tested a lot of different flats, but I find these the best for me; silky and soft feel, smooth playability, perfect flex (round core), warm and round sound... I have them on most of my basses.

Great overall tone, built to last

Had these strings a year now, on a fretless. Still sound great, they were quite bright for a while but mellowed out to a nice mid thump. They feel smooth but not greasy like some of the other flats on the market.

Will certainly be keeping these on for a long time.

nice strings, but...

They sound quite good, powerfull and quite kickass for flatwounds. But! they are quite flexible (and still heavy) and it has been really difficult to achieve a low action on my bass without having noises. I actually didn't achieve a confortable action so i'm not using them any more. Maybe in other basses they work better...
