Defective A string

David M. 989 09.08.2022

I have enjoyed Harley Benton items for many years and thought I would give these a try, expecting them to be a good standard and value for money. Sadly, despite very careful cutting (I always make two 90 degree bends in the silk before cutting to save damaging the strings) the A string was defective and rattled from within the string.

I contacted Thomann and offered to send it back for a replacement but they confirmed it was not covered by any warranty.

The whole set has therefore been thrown in the bin.

Don’t risk wasting your money on these like I did.

Affordable flatwound Bass strings

Good value for money. Sound great on my Squier Jazz bass. Will definitely be buying these again.

They last and sound good

tommystotle 14.06.2025

I use these strings on a bass in a recording studio. The price was worth buying them without much risk. I have used these strings on about a dozen recorded songs and they sound consistently decent. I’m not feeling like I need to restring that bass. If they did, I would gladly do it with these strings again. The strings don’t sound excited, but they sound perfect for some of the psychedelic songs I played bass on. It also complained nice groovy bass lines where you have to slide on the strings a lot. I would say it’s not the best for slap bass. Also, when I’m watching a TV show with my family, I can play bass with these strings I’m pretty silent and not distracting when it’s not plugged in. With normal wound strings it would be a bit annoying during a show because wound strings are louder. But these just have a nice mellow, groovy tone and you can play pretty busy and get a good even volume with them.

Good ones

Wanted to try flat wound strings on bass, but didn't want to spend a fortune. Very decent strings, in my opinion.
