Thomastik IN344

I really like these strings and have been using them for nearly 10 years .The sound is clear ,full,and even across all strings with a nice touch ...not too raw . I have one complaint tho and would like to know if anybody else has had the same experience .I use these on a ' 95 Fender Am Std Thru Body Jazz Bass and find the G-string to be TOO SHORT and get just about 2 turns on the Tuner post...I like to get 3 full Turns .Stringing is NOT EASY and I have to be really careful how I put the string on otherwise it will keep slipping when tightening .The D,A,E strings all give 3 turns and have to be cut because they are too long but not the G it's just too short.
After E-mailing Thomastik -Infeld about this problem and sending the Strings back I received a new set with the same problem .I got a very noncommittal response saying they have had no other complaints and a second Mail was totally ignored . Thing is, I like them too much to stop using them and when G finally grips the Tuner post ,it does stay in tune but sometimes it's a long haul getting there and a 5 minute job tuns into a 40 min frustrating experience .So it's a case of living with the inconsistencies, but I dread every string- change.

What great sounding strings these are!

My mate originally turned me onto Thomastik strings and although I paid more than I normally would for a set of strings the extra outlay is more than made up for by such a great tone.

I've used these for DI recording and they really help the bass sound stand out just because of this quality set of strings compared to my previous recordings with them same bass and equipment.

If your looking for something a bit special on your bass then I absolutely recommend these strings - well worth the cash for that extra percentage in tone!
