Smooth as silk

Leftyzorba 30.07.2022

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.

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.

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.

My first flatwounds.

Yngve66 29.12.2022

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.
