Great vinatge tone
Sharki 17.06.2017
I've putted them on my PRS Kestrel bass with single coil pickups.

Feeling is great, so different in compare to regular roundwound strings, They are smooth, movement of fingers is silent. Very interesting experience.

About the sound, they are warm and in compare to roundwounds, even dark. They have a great fundamental tone and power. For me it is OK, but I suspect that not every one will like it.

Slap and pop technique sounds good, but with flats you will lost this "zing" and percussive attack. Slap on flats is more like background playing.

Another thing is that flat strings keeps their sound for very long time.

IMO every bass player should try flats to see where is a difference.

Great. Plain and simple.

Normally, D'addario makes some of the best bass strings out there. They are cheaper than other brands and have a great tone to them, though they do not stay bright for as long as others do. However, in the case of the flats, you don't necessarily have that problem. These strings have, in my opinion, beaten out any others that I've used at some point (Fender, Rotosound). They sound really fat and clear. They work awesome with a P-bass if you're looking for the Motown vibe. Also, their sound is really remarkable when used in a J-bass context, fretted or fretless. Their medium range and tone works perfectly with the nasal nature of the fretless bass and, during the first two weeks or so of regular playing, you get an extra punchiness that helps you cut through the mix live thanks to the seal in the package.
These strings are an obvious choice for anyone looking for a good old sound.

They snapped whilst tuning, the La Bella’s didn’t …

Bought these flatwounds for my Harley Benton PB20 and La Bella flatwounds for my Sire V5 Jazz Bass. Sounded quite nice with lots of sustain, considering flats. However, they quickly needed a re-tune and whist doing that, two strings snapped. Not the first time I’d changed strings but think the PB20 tuners were not best quality and may have been a factor in some slipping of tuners and then snapping of the strings. Much better experience with La Bella and Sire combo. Gave a second star because not sure how much my fault, the tuners fault or the strings quality fault?! I wonder if these would have been ok on my Sire. Lesson learned? Don’t chance expensive strings on a budget bass!

Perfect for me
Anonymous 25.01.2015
I play both a Squier P/J Jaguar and a SUB Ray 4 and the chromes are great on both. I play swing, show, motown and 60's/70's stuff and the Chromes do it all on both basses. They last for ages, too. Still going strong after 2½ years so although they may be expensive initially, over time they're much cheaper than roundwounds that need replacing every so often.

Mellow.. but not too much
Pietro G. 09.09.2013
I was looking (for my J fret-less bass) for a set with a mellow sound. I am surprised because they have also a bright sound. With a good pre you have full control of hi frequencies if you need. The quality is good. The playability is fantastic. After one year they are still quite good. So... I found the perfect set for my jazz fret-less.

Very good!
Anonymous 10.09.2014
Very good strings. Great tone to them. Long life and great playabilty to them. They also have a great growl to them when you dig in a bit but over all they have a nice warm tone and sound great when you slide.

ECB84 flatwounds

Brilliant strings, really bring out the best of my P-bass. Seem to hold tune better than some rival makes, and with this gauge, playability is increased greatly!
