These stings are so beautiful to play, and sound so cool, they are like playing with silk strings, and the sound is so mellow and deep.

Elles sont confortables a jouer et la finition est propre. Âme hexagonale, filets plats, le son est rond et n'a pas le côté métallique des cordes à filets ronds nikelées. C'est ce que je recherchais.

I have been professional bass player for about 50 years now. I have used Fender equipment mostly. I recently purchased an Ibanez 300E bass guitar. I replaced the original strings with Fender Flatwound 50's. Within a week the G string unraveled at the tuner. I got a new string from them. I purchased the same set again. The A string started to twang and would not stay tuned. I returned them here. Got a refund. I purchased these strings. I used to use GHS in the past, and don't know why I stopped. The first difference between the two string sets is that the Fender's E is too deep to hear at times and I have to turn the bass control down. This alters the other strings and the whole set is bland. The GHS are not superbrite and twangy. They are the smoothest deepest all around great sound I have played on this new bass. I think the Fender strings are made for the Fender bass line and nothing else. My Ibanez has a preamp built in. I think this didn't work with the Fender metal. I tried everything to make the Fender strings sound good but could not. The A string would not sound when doing riffs, so it sounded terrible on stage. I put these GHS strings on today, and played them tonight on stage and they were very nice. The deep tones rang out across the fretboard in harmony. No longer was the E too bassy and the G string tinny and A not resonant and the D was nowhere to be heard. So, my conclusion is that Fender strings on Fender Guitars and GHS on the rest of them. I play different genres of music. I play rock, but also play smooth jazz, blues and country. I do not slap, pop or crackle. I just play standard bass in a few bands. These strings really sounded great tonight and the band thought so also.

These strings were amazing for me and I love them on this particular bass. I have a Hondo P-Bass (I know, but it was free) and had Ernie Ball Steel Strings on it prior. The sound was very thin, twangy, and metallic with the Ernie Ball strings. After reading lots of reviews, blogs, and forums I decided to try the GHS flatwounds. All the reviews I read said that they give a warmer fuller sound, some may call it dull or muffled. Knowing that this is exactly what I wanted to get out of this bass, I tried these strings. AMAZING DIFFERENCE!!These strings provided an instant and hugely monumental difference to my cheap Hondo bass. I'm not going to claim that it made this bass sound like a top dollar modern bass, but it did take a bass that I didn't like to play and listen to and a bass that I enjoy playing and has a nice warm full thump to it. The new strings brought out a wonderful tone, enhanced the harmonics, and did give the bass a more vintage somewhat upright sound. All from a set of amazing strings.If you enjoy a warm full sound from strings that are nice to play on, then give these strings a try. They are inexpensive enough that even if you don't like them it wasn't like you had to trade your first born for them. And that is especially important when you have a bass like mine where the strings have more value that the bass itself.Now, if you like a brighter sound for playing some rock or metal, then these strings probabaly are not for you. They will give you a wonderful warm tone but they are not as bright and poppy as round wound steel strings. I have Ernie Balls on an Ibanez for that particular sound.Know your sound and the sound you are looking for. Then do your research. These strings worked great for me. That took a crap sounding bass and turned it into a whole new instrument. But this sound may not be what you are looking for. So, read the forums, ask other players who play the same bass you do about strings, spend some time checking reviews. And if by some amazing chance someone you know already has these strings, give them a play.All in all, great strings, great price, great tone. May or May not work for you or on your particular bass. But it's worth trying and it's not cost prohibative to do so.

First, I wanted to say thanks for the guys who did leave previous reviews. This helped me a lot. So if you are looking into these strings I will be as descriptive as possible. I never played flat wounds before until I just got my Fender fretless bass that came stock with flat wounds. I have an MTD bass that has a maple neck with a very bright tone when using stainless strings, so I thought these flat wounds would smooth out the tone from being almost too twangy. I am very pleased with these GHS stainless flat wounds! They are like as smooth as the as the plastic used in a tennis racket's gut strings (sorry, all I could think of). So this is night and day different in feel and tone of regular round wounds. The tone is perfect for me on this particular bass. It is not dull in any way and really sounds like a bass string should. I use Ernie Ball nickel round wounds and D'Addario nickels usually and this is nothing like those. I feel they are like the best choice out there for flat wounds, since Amazon has the cheapest deal and others like DR or Ernie Ball are two times as much. I mean come on, who can justify $40 bucks for flat wounds unless you are that dedicated to the brand?! Overall the tone is deep and smooth with zero fret buzz or string talk (which was a huge issue with my other strings). MTD's have a zero fret and crazy sustain and this really increases string talk and ring and these helped my poor finger techniques. So I hope to have helped some of you reading this know something about these wonderful strings and if you have a long scale it will be no problem as my 34" scale had over 6" of string cut off the string to fit my bass with at least 4 wraps on the post. This will be my new main string for at least one of my many basses that has its own smooth tone of choice.
