Please note I solely used these strings on my Höfner 500/7 Verythin shortscale bass (which needs a longscale set, even though it is a shortscale instrument!). However, they absolute shine on an instrument like this and beautifully capture the 60's sound I was looking for. Will change the current d'Addario Chromes flats on my Precision bass with these when the time comes.
The Pyramid flats provide even response, a smooth feel and have the right amount of tension (in line with d'Addario Chromes and far less than LaBella flats).
All in all: good playability and great, 'boxy' tone which really gets the most out of a violin bass or similar hollowbody. Highly recommended.

Got these for my harley benton fretless jazz bass, I have a 1980 ibanez fretless and needed to take it "off the road" to resurface the board, the downside of roundwound strings.
They sound and feel.......sexy, and wont damage the board.
going to get some more for my precision

Pair perfectly with a hollowbody bass for that 60/70's sound and with a solidbody for that later Macca sound.

This is my first set of flatwounds; they are on my acoustic, full scale bass guitar. It took a while to get used to the extra string tension, and they were actually rougher on my right hand as well. I started using them for just a couple of songs at a time until I got used to them. I love the sound, it's quite different than round wound strings. While they don't sound as much like an upright as I was hoping, they sound beautiful anyway. They don't produce as much sound as acoustic strings obviously, but as a bass player I always use an amp when playing with anyone else.
