Harley Benton HQS Bass-5 45-128 Flatwound

They are OK.

I put a 5 string set on my fretless and they felt thick while installing, so I mic'd out the set. All the sizes were accurate except the B string which mic'd at 131 and it was a dead string. All the others sounded pretty good and had a song to them. The B string just went thud. So I took them off and went back to round wounds. I may reinstall the E-G on a 4 string, but I dont own one. All 9 basses are 5 or 6 string, even the P/J and Sting Ray H/B's.

Beyond Pleased

Surprisingly good quality. Cheapest bass flats I’ve ever used and am definitely going back for more.

Best bang for the buck

Great flatwounds for the price. will last a long time

Amazing!!

For years I’ve played La Bella strings. I took a chance on these & I was blown away at the quality & tone! I couldn’t put my bass down for hours! They feel and sound just as good as strings that cost much more! I’d bet that James Jamerson & Jerry Jemmott would use these strings! Great strings & I will indeed be buying more!

Dead B string!

I bought 2 sets of these flat wound strings for use with 2 different axes. I used the first one on a Harley Benton fretless bass. It was clear from the first pluck that there was a problem with the bass ( bought in the same order as the strings), or the B string. At the time I thought it had to do with the quality of the cheap bass. A couple of days ago I put the second set on a newly purchased mid to high quality Yamaha bass. The B string is dead, as with the other set. So, it is obvious that these strings are faulty. No more Harley Benton strings anymore, as quality is questionable , to say the least!!

Unexpected Surprise

I was looking for inexpensive flatwounds for my practice bass. After experiencing the feel and tone of these strings, I now have the same on one of my main gig basses. Try them, you may be just as surprised.

Good for a 4 string bass

The 5th string (B) does not sound well

My first flatwounds.

Bought a new jazz bass, so i wanted to try flatwounds on it.

Bought the cheapest i could find. It went very well.

The strings feel perfect. No flaws. Sounds good to.

So if they hold up in the long run, i will come back for more.

I have never played with expensive flats, so i don't know the difference.

Beautiful strings with beautiful sound

Very nice, very soft to touch, perfect for fretless bass.

The red ends give a very nice final touch.

I'm by no means a bass professional, but I'm very happy with these strings.

Smooth as silk

Originally looking for tape wound or nylon coated strings for my 5string long scale bass, spotted these and noticed how inexpensive they were. They came and were easily fitted, they are perfect for long scale basses, trimmed approx 10 Cm from the ends and gave a very neat look to the headstock as red binding looks good.

Sound perfect, great on finger tips very smooth, great value for money.
