GHS PRECISION FLATS - Flatwound Bass Strings
Long revered as the "Sound of Chocolate," Precision Flats have a traditional deep percussive tone that is sure to make you play as many Motown licks as you can. A polished steel ribbon wire gives you a smooth and supple feel that is evenly balanced across all strings.
GHS Precision Flats Bass Strings deliver traditional deep percussive tone due to a unique cross-winding process. They are made with a highly magnetic stainless steel flat wrap for greater volume, longer durability and a smooth satin finish.
Short Scale - 3020 Set - 32.75" Wind - 45-95 - 045, 060, 075, 095

Put them on my Grestch g2220. Had a really hard time finding the gauge I needed. Stretched them out a few days, and no problem with them staying in tune. Sound great. Play great. Will buy them again.

Perfectas para mi Gibson SG bass. Al ser un escala corta y la 4ª cuerda calibre 95, no tiene el característico "bufido" de graves. Por lo demás, suenan muy equilibradas a lo largo del diapasón. Si tienes un escala corta y quieres un sonido "old school", estas van de maravilla.

These strings are just what I hoped for, which was a not-too-muddy sound in a flatwound string. I like flatwounds because they don't have the finger squeak (zing!) when you move your hands from note to note like roundwounds do, and I like the deep bassy sound of them. But some flatwound strings can be too bassy on a particular bass guitar. These are just right. I'm using them on two bass guitars and like them very much. Highly recommended.

These are really well balanced flats. They don’t have that annoying “bing!” that Chromes have in the upper midrange on the attack. They’re not clacky like Cobalts.Beautiful pillowy lows. Perfect amount of midrange- not too scooped or overpowering. Super easy, tight muting. Not as smooth feeling under finger as some other more expensive flats, but still very comfy.

Excellent light, lower tension, very flexible, flatwounds. I use them on a short scale Ibanez Mikro bass and they fit well, tune up easily, and play wonderfully. IMO they're probably among the best strings around for short scale basses, and also for fretless... -And they're not snobby and overpriced about it either...

I've had these for about a year and a half and I like the way they feel. It's made bass a lot more endurable for me as a beginner

I have been a bass player for a bit over five years now. I started out with a full-scale fender jazz Bass which I struggled with due to having small hands in very short fingers. At some point I discovered short scale Bass! Last year I ended up kind of shredding my middle plucking finger. I reoffended a couple times after the fact, and decided I needed to have smoother strings. Finding flat-wound strings for short scale Bass was quite an endeavor in itself. Not many string makers make them. Ironically, I couldn't even find them in guitar center. So I turned to Amazon, and there they were! These strings are like silk. And for me, they have a more thump/deep tone to them, which is what I love.If you're looking for something brighter, I would suggest something else, perhaps semi flat, would be a good compromise.

These are really nice strings. They play really well and sound good. For flatwounds they still have a little brightness. Only downside is they feel a bit sticky and grainy after some playing but that can be cleaned off.Price wise they are high but there isn't much choice of flatwound shortscale strings so I'm grateful these are here.
