Pros

They are super smooth and plays very well. The g sounds brighter than the other three. They have plenty of bottom end but also a bit of brightness on top.



Cons

Amazon description is misleading. The actual usable string is 32 and 7/8. These strings were not used and sent back, due to not fitting. The only good thing is that this set fits perfectly on a new guild starfire bass.

Quality


They are short scale and great quality.


Very high quality flatwound bass strings with an accurate but slightly mellow sound with some good bightness to them.

    My theory is get all the tone out of the instrument possible then use eqs and compressors etc


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Quick note tis are indeed rad sounding but the g is too thin and tension overall too floppy for my taste after a year with them


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Theyre quite evenly tensioned with very relative string sizings and sound like butter after about three to four months when the zing wears off

    To be fair though i have never tried any other flatwounds


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I just know the cheapo stock roundwound strings sound lame and dont feel very good to play


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They can sound aggressive depending on the signal chain andor how they are mixed


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Not near as much string noise as round wound but not as aggressive
