My husband bought these to replace the roundwound strings which came on his Squire P/J bass. They went on fine and tuned up the first time. He did a full set-up on the bass a week later. Vastly improved the smoothness of play and great sound. Like these flats a lot. The more they play, the better they sound. Perfect soynd for our church band.

It brought the perfect sound for older music, especially black Sabbath.

First, these strings feel and sound great. My experience: Used these strings on a 60s reissue Fender Jazz Bass for a recording session. Did 15 tracks with no issues, got a lot of compliments on the bass sound. Played a gig a couple of days later, the G string kept going flat, finally just unwound; stayed attached at the tuning post and bridge ends, but hung in an arc about 3 - 4 inches below the other strings. I've broken a G string before (I was much younger and dumber and was using a mike stand as a slide), but I haven't had one just unravel like this one did while I was playing normally. As indicated above, the strings sound and feel great, and it may well be that I just got the one-in-a-thousand bad string, but I can't vouch for their durability.

These have a smooth feel and even output across the strings. While these are not laBella, Pyramid or Optima, they hold their own well and compared to Pyramid, they have more even output. They are stiffer than the others (including Rotosound Monel flats), so that may be a turnoff for some people. I've used these for decades and they've always been consistent and they sound great. Since they are stiffer and higher tension, I use them with the neck shimmed a little and with no relief/low-action. If you set them up that way, they will settle in a few days to a very nice playing set with a great feel. How do they compare to Chromes you ask? Chromes have a similar feel, but with slightly less tension (a good thing), but they have a strange sound...or at least, they do not sound like traditional flatwounds. The Fenders do.

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.
