Quality strings, but I just don't like them

I'm a flatwound string fan and used many different ones (Chromes, TIs, LaBellas, Roto jazz flats, Pyramids...).

I just didn't like the sound of these. Nothing objectively wrong with it though. It's balanced between strings, nice fundamentals etc... It was the upper end, the steel zing that I just found annoying. Maybe it would have broken in over time, but it was too annoying to give them time.

The quality seems great though. Tension is even, finish impeccable. Price is good too... Try them out, maybe they work for you.

Nice Strings

Nice strings and a lot cheaper than many. I would recommend these if you like flat strings.

Mellow!

Great value for money. Nice medium tension and smooth under the fingers as expected with a decent set of flats. Classic mellow tones. The silk ends are a light green colour.

Great flatwound srings for decent price!

Amazing, deep, mellow sound. Still very clear and well defined. Excellent quality, made in the USA. Great for the price, recommended.

This strings I am using on my Harley Benton Jazz Bass and they are the best for me: excellent sound and really good quality.

I love these!

I love these, If it wasn't for the fact that I just switched to 5 string I would probably use these strings for the rest of my life.

Awesome!

It sounds pretty metallical at first because it's new, but after 2-3 sessions it sounds classy.

Great for fretless and fretted.

I'm quite impressed with these, but I don't feel they are amazing. At the moment they are a bit scratchy for string bends, but I hope they will improve over use. The sound however is where they score highly. Depending on your finger style they have the brightness of roundwounds, and the as expected warm and mellow tones. They also work well on fretted bass, finally I can get that John Deacon sound! ( I edited this review from 4 to 5 stars, they have settled in nicely after playing for a couple of years! I’m not being cheap, they just don’t need changing.)

Great strings

Super high quality, would totally recommend!

Amazing vintage sound

I have used this on a jazz bass with alder body and rosewood fretboard and sounds amazing. Really warm sound with nice feeling on hands. Depending on the bass/amp settings you can achieve a really nice vintage sound. These flatwounds can last for years without any issue.
