5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound and feel

I'd seen plenty of good reviews for these strings when I was looking at a set for my 4-string, and preferring a lower tension feel they sounded like they fitted the bill for me. I'd seen plenty of comments about being 'too low tension', and about how this might affect the B-string, but I can say that from my experience they feel fine!I switched to them from some Elixir strings, and in terms of tension they didn't feel a million miles apart. The B-String in particular feels totally normal, not as loose as some people suggested it might (as a side note, the B also looks massive).For feel, they're amazing! I've used the GHS Precision flats on one of my other basses and I do prefer the feel of these in comparison. Tonally they're on another level too. Across the board, from the B to the C, they're much more balanced, and have a nice richness and warmth while still having that flat wound sound.I had to make a minor setup tweak, but this was just adjusting the height of the saddles slightly. I assume it's due to the neck being fairly stable as standard, but I didn't need to adjust the truss rod at all.From seeing reviews elsewhere, these strings should last a long, long time, so for the price they seem like a great investment too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Flatwound Strings

B.P. · 22 April 2024

I've gone through them all. Ernie Ball, Rotosounds, LaBella, D'Addario and Fender flatwounds. These are the best strings you could possibly ask for. Perfect feel, tone and overall just brings out the best you could ask on a bass and Flatwounds. Never going back to anything else.

5.0 out of 5 stars Low Tension, Amazing Sound

S.L. · 8 September 2024

These flat wound strings are my absolute favourite flat wounds I have used. They are so easy to play because of their low string tension and my fingers don't get exhausted at all! In the past I have used rotosound flats and while they sounded great, the higher tension kept me from playing for too long, so these Thomastik flats are a blessing for my fingers.I've strung these onto my jazz bass and I plan to keep them on forever! I can highly recommend these Thomastik flat wound strings.

lovely sound and nice to play but the A and E string just a little to long for an ENCORE short scale bass.delivery was super fast

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Sound + Feel, Worth Every Penny!

Converted an Ibanez sr506 to fretless and wacked these babys on,Blown away by the sound and "mwah" on every string, including the bloody huge b string!Great for slapping and tapping alike,Very chuffed with them, just hoping they'll last as long as people say!#One year update#They still sound amazing. Perhaps even better than last year. I play my fretless about 2/3 hours a day and these don't seem to be wearing out at all, still loads of mwah and enough zing with some added treble for artificial harmonics! Boss!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great old bass tones.

Superb strings. They need to bed in a little to get their famous sound but after a few hours of playing they are fantastic.They are expensive, but they can last over 5 years so averaged out they are still good value.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bright flatwound tone

S.C. · 14 September 2022

I adore these strings, I find them bright enough for slap and warm enough for Motown, jazz and blues. Really versatile, light to play. I use them on all my basses and play all styles from funk and disco to heavy rock.

一度試しにどうでしょう？＊追記あり＊

ho richiesto la muta di corde come nella foto, e ne ho ricevuta un'altra simile.

Fabulous

These are the smoothest set of bass strings that I have ever owned. Great tone and incredible playability. Simply great set of strings.

Très douces au toucher

Montées sur ma Fender Jazz Bass Marcus Miller elles montres agréables à jouer

Expensive but worth it

Bought these for my fretless Jazz Bass. These are exactly what I was looking for, flexible, plenty of mwaahh, and balanced output. Depending in eq setting I can get pretty close to double bass sound up to almost Jaco tone. Shipping was less than a week from Austria. Would I buy again…yes, but don’t expect these to wear out. Very smooth almost mercury like feel.
