    • Where have you been all my life?
Style: Medium, 55-105 Pattern Name: Strings
I've never played flats before, and now I feel cheated because I'm in love with the sound and feel of these beauties. I strung them on my Squire Affinity PJ and it's a different beast now. The feel is so good. You can move all over the fretboard quickly, without zipper noises, and they feel slick as snot under the fingertips. I lost my callouses from lack of consistent playing and was still able to play 3 hours without any discomfort. Then there is the tone. It makes a bass sound like a bass. Rounds kind of sound like a normal guitar, just pitched lower, but flats have that percussive thump, and a different harmonic series that gives them a real players sound. They make your bass guitar, more of a bass guitar if that makes sense. Far from being dead sounding, I got a good slap sound without any effort at all, and I was also able to lower the action on my guitar a little more without buzz, which combined had me slapping and popping like a fool. You do lose some of the higher harmonics, which makes the strings sound a little more like an upright bass, and a little less like the bass strings in a piano with their harmonic overtones. Lastly, the dynamics are impressive. Whether using your fingers or a pick, the attack is a solid thump and a little faster than rounds. This makes percussive playing especially effective at locking it down with the drums. I play direct to my Fender amplifier without any compression and its sometimes challenging to keep consistent dynamics. I found my ability to control the volume with my fingers and playing techniques was easier for me on flats. It felt more responsive to changes in fingering resulting in slightly easier consistency, but also allowing for rapid changes in volume simply by plucking harder, using single index fingering, etc. ... show more

These are less shiny looking than my last La Bella set. But I bought the Fender 55 for the thicker gauge. Love the thunderous sound. Will be buying again.

I love these strings. I put them on my fender jazz and the sound is awesome. I play some rock and spanish music so i like the low end with a little bit of high. Love to hear the deeper tone and the feel of the flatwound strings are easy on your fingers and able to slide well. And I will definitely be getting these again for all my other basses. ... show more

    • Interesting change. Not sure if flatwounds are for me..
Style: Medium, 55-105 Pattern Name: Strings
I restrung my bass with these and so far so good. I've always used roundwound strings, but wanted to try flatwound. I have a Peavy Rockmaster bass that I put these on. Pros I like the feel of the strings. Smooth. slides don't have that 'buzz' that I've had on roundwounds.(kind of like driving your car on the highway vs being slightly out of lane and hitting that grooves that remind you you are leaving the road) the sounds is more full I think. deeper tones or something.. Cons there is more tension and so far I am tuning more. (I think this is tapering off) the tension has raised the action - pulled the neck up. (doers that make sense) I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with the flatwound, so I don't know whether I am going to bother to change this. As a pro my fingers are getting stronger...) ... show more

    • Fender Flatwound Strings
Style: Medium, 55-105 Pattern Name: Strings
Feel great ion fingers. So smooth. Sound fantastic. Will not chew up frets like round wounds. Didn’t expect to feel the extra core tension, but not bad, just different. Easy to get used to. Great bass strings, great feel, nicely priced, and very cool sound!

    • Very good sounding flatwounds at a very good price.
Style: Medium, 55-105 Pattern Name: Strings
I've tried Cobalt flats, Chromes and LaBellas, but these have the better midrange clarity that I am looking for. After playing these for several years, these have become my all around favorite bass strings. They have a very distinct midrange that pairs perfectly with my Jazz bass.
