These strings have great tone. They are on the expensive side, but they are quality.

After decades of exclusively using various Rotosound bass strings, a few months back some heavy gauge Roto flats surprised me when I opened the case storing my Peavey Foundation bass and found the neck had snapped the truss rod. I didn’t want to risk snapping any of my Fender Jazz bass necks and looked for some low tension flats. Heard some really great things about the Thomastik flats and bought a set. Immediately loved them and gradually put two other sets on two other basses. I’m able to achieve any tone I need with EQ adjustments. Testimonials agree, these strings could last a decade or more. I don’t see why not; I was able to get two or three years out of the Rotosounds just by keeping my hands clean and wiping them down after each use. I have the Thomastiks on three of my four Jazz basses and I’m extremely satisfied.

I love these strings. I use them on two basses: a cheap Ibanez that I defretted, and a G&L L2000. On the Ibanez, they make a $400 bass sound like a high end instrument (as long as I avoid the warped parts of the neck, which buzz!). On the G&L, they do a superb job of taming the instrument, helping me find my sound. With the original roundwounds, the L2000 had too much treble and too much aggression in the upper mids for my tastes. I don't slap, and while I love some growl, I like to control it. The G&L always sounded like it wanted to bite my head off. For years my solution was GHS Bright Flats. These are actually ground-wounds. Once they're worn in a bit, they do a good job of taking the edge off the treble and the 1khz grind. The downside was the GHS strings' extremely high tension. They were like bridge cables. I found them physically challenging to play—to the point where I had to practice for gigs just to build up the stamina, so I wouldn't get hand cramps. The difficulty didn't do my playing any favors, and if I ever took a break from practicing, I was screwed. The tension was so high it actually damaged my bass. Even with the truss rod as tight as possible, the neck eventually warped. A guitar tech had to straighten it on a heat press (took about 4 days) and urged me to switch to lower tension strings. Enter the TI Jazz flats. I already knew i liked them on my fretless, so it was an easy choice to try on the G&L. What a difference. Brand new, they sounded great, if a bit more aggressive than ideal in the 800hz-1khz area. But this wore off in a couple of weeks. They sounded full, present, alive, and warm. Definitely in a middle ground between rounds and flats. Think round-wound minus the steel-on-steel sound of the fret noise. My favorite part is how easy the bass is to play now. Between the low tension and my first ever professional setup, playing is nearly effortless. I don't get tired. I don't press hard. Practicing is about music, not weight training. And, as the technician predicted, the neck is now dead-stable. No issues. I'm not ruining it with those bridge cables anymore. As some other reviewers have made clear, the low tension isn't for everyone. Neither is the lack of upper treble. But if you're ok with these characteristics, the Jazz Flats are about as good as it gets. They're expensive up front, but a good value—they seem to last practically forever.

I needed to get some flat wound strings for my MusicMan Big Al bass. I had just sold the Precision which had Fender flat wound strings, the Big Al still had the Ernie Ball round wound strings that it came with, ok strings but not for me. I checked around on the web and asked friends to find out what was recommended, I thought there might be something better than the Fender flats. Thomastik came up more than anything else so I got some. The Big Al has passive and active circuit options that allows you to dial in any kind of sound. I use a David Eden World Traveler combo that will reproduce anything the instrument delivers with clean power and control. I actually tried the new strings out with a couple of the Ernie Ball round wounds still left on to compare, before putting all of them on. The Thomastik flat wound strings have a full, singing tone that I hear in my head and want my bass to have. With the full tone one can achieve the bright tones that round wounds produce, the deep bassy tones for recording and stage and everything in between with no gaps. There is no change of tone when going from string to string and likewise with the sustain. Each string acts and plays like all the others. Since the Big Al also gets a wide variety of sounds, these strings are an excellent match. The smoothness of the strings are the best part. If you are playing for hours at a time, the Tomastiks will not fatigue your fingers or tear up the frets. Also, if you want to set the action low, these strings will not mind. If you just cannot get the sound you want from your strings (and you have a decent quality of an instrument) I would say give these strings a try. If you like round wound sound and your bass has an active circuit, you may be able to get by with these flats, otherwise Thomastik does produce round wound sets. I expect to get years of use from a set so the higher cost will balance out over the years. The only caveat from me is the G string broke off several times when making a right angle turn in the machine head, they are kid of soft. I ended up just using a figure S around the slot to get it started. Make sure you start off with enough length and to wind it properly down from the nut.
