Flatwounds with a character
RedSun 27.01.2014
Well these flatwounds from Rotosound are a custom gause for Steve Harris from Iron Maiden.

I use them in tune C so I like the bigger gause and the extra string tension they offer.Beware if you don't like big tension strings these may not be the correct choise for you.They are very stiff for standard tunings.

Out of the box they are very bright and after some hours of playing they have some stickiness to the touch.
Those "features" don't last so much and after a while (one week or so) they settle in.
Their sound after they settle in is mellow with clean highs without steping into roundwounds terittory.They have the "flatwound sound" but don't expect deep and boomy lows.They are very balanced,fairly hi-fi with a nice quality to the low mid and midrange imo.

The touch is smooth even though a bit rough for flatwound but believe me this won't be a problem.They are still smooth and very easy to play!
And let me tell you they last forever.I used them 7 years and they were going strong.

Only downside I can think of is that they are overpriced.
If they were cheaper I would still use them but 40 euros are too much compared to the Fender flats offerings for example which cost half of that.
Still a very good product and recommended!

Harrific!

I'm playing them on the SH Signature Precision and although it's got a huge neck, it's quite a challenge to get it straight by trussrod-adjustment. So the string-tension is REALLY high (at least in e-Standard) which imo is nice for fast finger and pick-playing.
Being flats they've got nice and clear highs, while the bass is rather dry.
For me, they're lacking some low-mids but that can be easily compensated with a 4-/5-band oder graphic EQ.
