Great strings with a classic sound!
TrEr 21.05.2019
These strings aren't for everyone but personally I absolutely love them! If you're into British 60s/70s rock there's a good chance the bass player in your favourite band used these strings. They really SCREAM 70s British rock!

They do take some time to break in though, more than most other strings I've tried. The also break in very unevenly across the strings. And weirdly, the D+G lose that "new string" clank a lot sooner than the E+A. The lower strings actually stay clanky longer than the higher strings. This is the opposite of every other strings I've used. Really weird.

Once they've settled in they will be very smooth but still slightly brighter than most flatwounds. The lows won't be as thumpy as the typical old school flatwound. The mids... are just GORGEOUS! These strings have the most beautiful mids in any strings I've ever used!

The only con is that they can be really fatiguing for the hands. Stay away from the thicker gauges unless you've got really strong hands!

Apart from that I can highly recommend these strings for anyone looking for a classic British rock sound. But stay away if you want a "modern" sound with lots of zing. That's not what these strings are about.

Excellent for Fretless!!!
RainerMaria 11.06.2017
Bought them for a Fender Jazz fretless with active pickups and I couldn't be happier. Exactly what I was looking for. Deep, low growly bottom end and very well defined. Certainly not very bright. If you're looking for bright, you probably wouldn't be looking at flatwounds. But for flatwounds, they do sound a bit livelier than ones I've used in the past from brands such as Fender and GHS. But for the deep, low, growly sound I was looking for from my fretless bass, these are perfect.

I bought this strings for my fretless Harley Benton. They give very nice full tone, ideal for jazz and ethno stuff. They play soft but they don't rattle when played more agreesive on low action settings. Definetly i will use them in the future.
