Very high tension strings that are not bad but the sound isn't exactly anything to write home about. I find La Bella flats to be way better and sound better. I guess these are only for hardcore Iron Maiden fans that own Steve Harris' sig bass because I don't really see the point of using these in the long term. Only positive is they do have a good booming sort of sound but the zing will fade pretty quickly since they are essentially flatwounds. I found the stock nickel strings better and the zing lasted way longer.

I put these on my Peavey Millenium 4 BXP. I had no issues with the tension of the strings vs. the neck as was mentioned in another review, although they definitely string up tighter than the lighter strings that I had been using. I play daily and have a definite feel for how my bass should sound. As noted in the title, these flatwounds feel very nice to the fingers. Prior to buying these, I'd only played roundwounds and was delighted to get rid of the finger noise that comes with sliding my fingers down the neck. This was especially appreciated when using tapping techniques on the fretboard. They look nice, they sounded nice, and they are very easy on the fingers. That said, after they'd been on my bass for about a week, the A string went dead. It still played, but had a "thump" and a muted sound when I would play the string. The other strings still sounded right, but the third string just sounded wrong. We fiddled around with it and still couldn't get it to sound right. Upon closer examination, we found that the string had started to unwind under the blue silk up by the tuning post. I don't know if this was the issue, but it was the only visible difference between that string and the others. I changed the strings out for some Ernie Ball Power Slinky strings (55-75-95-110) and it played right again. Sadly, I had to go back to the finger sounds as my fingers slid around on the strings. But, the Slinkys are half the price of the Rotosounds, and they sound fine. When it comes time to change out my strings again, I will give the Rotosounds another shot, but, I was disappointed with how this set turned out. It could have been the way that I wound the posts, or, it could have been a quality control issue. I loved the feel of these strings and hope that my next set works out better than the first.

Sounds great but man they are high tension. I had to take them off, they are not friendly to your bass neck.

I have a Fender Squire Modified Vintage Jaguar Bass with Stock PU's, self Refitted HIGH MASS BRIDGE. FINALLY HAVE A NICE BOOMING SOUND with (still) lots of TONAL COLORING! Also the FLAT WOUNDS are SILKY SMOOTHE as far as letting you slide from one note to the next!

This is written as a top tier Iron Maiden fan. In the fan club, own all the studio and live albums, even the rarities. Mine are installed on his signature Fender P Bass. The sound is great, but as mentioned many times they will not produce the bright sound for long. Just like the great D'Addario Chromes, the zing leaves pretty early. Probably the most difficult thing to get over is the tension. I've got the action lowered to help overcome this - as with Steve I have some fret noise with almost every hit, it is that low. Your left forearm will be crying out while playing fast fills and power chords. Your right fingertips will ache from essentially slapping against a solid object for extended periods. Steve must have some incredible strength built up from playing thousands of hours on these. I'm a left handed mechanic and have a hard time with them. If you must have every last bit of 'Arry tone, go ahead. The tension and quick loss of brightness is why I'm giving it a 3/5. As with most flats, the tone is versatile enough to cover any genre.

I never tried flatwound strings or any strings made by Rotosound. Since I'm an Iron Maiden fan, I thought I'd try these on a P/J type bass. I selected these specific strings because my bass has a maple frettboard (not rosewood) and it really gives it a high end sound. The flatwounds, bring up the bottom end and tone down the high end to balance the bass out regardless of whether I favor my Precission pickups or the Jazz ones. The actual feel of these strings is not as rough as roundwound strings. However, since they are a very heavy gauge, I find myself working harder to press on the fretts. No big deal. I switch back and forth between finger style and picking. For some odd reason, I thought you couldn't use a pick on flatwounds, but I was proven wrong. They definitely have a unique clear, but mellow sting to them when picked! All in all, not bad for the price.

Finally. After all these years I can play and sound just like Steve Harris! Wish I’d have bought these decades ago!
