These are so much More comfortable to play on than round rounds.And they have a spectacular full sound too. My custom bass has extremely Bright pickups which I'm sure helps

Worth the money! I love having the ability to slide the frets without the loud squeak. Smooth playing, feels great!

I put these on a Paranormal Rascal bass to give it a more vintage tone and to match the retro look. They held up well considering it's a string through bridge and flats usually don't like to bend around corners like that. Tone is great, they're a little more punchy than most so you can still get a good rock sound when needed and they're smooth as butter under my fingers. At $40 I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Nice flat wounds. Silk wrapping sits on bridge but sound seems okay. Like the smooth feel of these and minimizes buzzing and noise.

Ok, there are pro's and con's here, and its not the strings, it's me.First off these strings have a unique feel, a smooth matte surface, and they feel very durable.I play for fun with Rocksmith, and the normal bass strings have been hurting my fingers as I don't play enough to get calluses. I looked into getting flatwould or groundwound strings to help with this issue. These strings are smooth, however, now I have new issues that I didn't expect. Instead of the sandpaper feel of normal strings, these smooth strings burn my fingers (like a carpet burn) when sliding. This is probably due to the increased surface area touching your fingers using a flat string. I also noticed that my right hand is getting very tired plucking, I never had that issue with normal strings. It seems that it takes about twice the energy to pluck flat strings, probably again due to the increased surface area on the string surface. Also the flat strings have a different sound or tone than the normal strings, which I expected, the issue is that Rocksmith doesn't pick up the low notes as well on these strings making it harder to play the game. The strings sound great through my amp, the issues I am having are particular to my noob situation, and playing Rocksmith. I am still pretty new to playing bass, and to anyone else out there playing rocksmith I recommend sticking with normal strings.

First time putting flats on one of my basses. They sound and play great. They sound very bright for flats but that could also be because they are brand new. 5 out of 5. I put these on my musicman stingray 5H very nice

As I said, I put them on my beatle bass. They are smooth and deep and really hold their tuning well but that’s what you come to expect when you buy Earnie balls..

This was my first set of flats, and I might never go back. I put them on a cheap P-Bass for recording. It’s a classic for a reason.

Très bon touché. Douces et son assez équilibré. Pas mal d’aiguës, très polyvalent

トマスティックと比べればテンション高め。よりフラットワウンドのイメージに近い音だと感じました。ネックやボディーの振動が心地よいです。この感覚はこの弦が初めてかも知れません。弦が死んだとき、どんな音になるのか楽しみです。【追記】この弦を張ってから丁度1ヵ月ほど経ちました。弾いたときの感触や音にあまり変化がないように感じます。他の弦、特にラウンドワウンドであれば既に音色に大きな変化があってもいい頃だと思いますが。

Lo mejor que puedes adquirir para tu bajo, si lo que buscar es un sonido calido y lindo. Es super comodo tocar estas cuerdas, no te cansa para nada los dedos y su sonido es lo preciso para la calidez y sonido vintage. 10/10
