THE flatwound strings!

Andy66, 19.09.2013

Sound:
Balanced tension is a funny thing if you've never met it before but each string feels alike and this enables you to play with greater consistency!

Their sound is typically 'flats' in that it has a good fundamental thump but they don't lack clarity or top end either, a good rounded sound but with none of that roundwound snap/sizzle.

Quality:
I always find the mark of a good string is that when you first unwind it it hangs perfectly straight, no disappointment here! Easy to install and nice & stable tuning from the off!

Each string feels very consistent with no lumps or bumps and tension is as even as they claim!

Conclusions:
If you're looking for flatwounds of medium to low tension then these are superb and they sound exactly right!

Classic!

Philipp Z. 915, 20.11.2012

Put them on a P-Bass and you'll hear the original Motown-Sound known from Jamerson and co.
Really nice low-mid punch but still a quite good definition. Personally, I'd recommend to play close to the Bridge, because otherwise your sound will get a bit muddy and lack high-mids (rather likea doublebass).
Also the surface is very smooth, which makes it easy for your fingers, at least if you're used to playing flats.
