Très bonne qualité.

I have a short-scale vintage modified Jaguar base and wanted an E string that was less floppy. I love the short-scale bass, but tension on the roundwound strings are too low to drop tune. I was looking at flatwound strings, because they flop less and last forever. I was worried about losing too much edge on the tone, because I like to play rock music.I settled on the cobalt flatwound strings, because they have a brighter tone than most flats. I was a bit nervous because I have read accounts of strings breaking and the bit of sticky feel. I dislike a set of round slinkies on one of my other basses because of the rough feel compared to fender rounds. I tuned up slowly the first time on these strings, which caution is learned from the high E on guitars. They tuned up fine without breaking and are stretching as expected. I did have to file out the E string spot on the nut with an old 105 round I had around, because the nut was cut for 100s.The feel of the strings is pretty good. The cobalt alloy does grip your skin a little, but is less than a smooth round. Overall they do feel pretty smooth. The E string is now reasonably stiff. The cobalt flats are surprising floppy out of the package. They flop around like rubber. Tuned up, they have sufficient stiffness. Drop D feels fine. My first set of flats, and really like the feel after a quick buffing with a dry cloth. In case you haven't read it elsewhere yet, cobalt alloy can rust. You need to dry them off after each playing session.The tone is a great fit for the PJ pickups on the short Jaguar. This is an aggressive little rock bass now. I am getting more tone out of the weak J pickup. This is not going to do a vintage sound without EQ on the amp. The tone knob on the bass does not make much of a change on the P pickup against these strings.I am really happy with the strings. Both the tone and feel are good. I look forward to seeing how the tone changes after the break-in period. The green silk is my favorite color, but red would have matched the bass.

Always well made and good value. Nice flat wound tone for bass guitar. Good price.

Llevaba mucho tiempo buscando unas cuerdas para mi Fender Musicmaster con el tacto suave de una cuerda de entorchado plano pero con la pegada de las roundwound. Estas son exactamente lo que estaba buscando. Una maravilla.

Yes I am a big fan of Ernie Ball and the flatwounds. As a fingerstyle player they are much easier on the fingers. Great tone and long lasting playability.
