Not so much a technique tip, but I wasn’t aware of how much string noise I was generating until I started practicing through headphones. No amp-sim, no reverb, just a headphone amp. It highlights technique issues REALLY quickly!!
Bought used recently from a fellow BC'er and they're great sounding (and feeling) flats, but I've just got to face the fact that I'm not a 'flats' guy. These are pretty much identical tension to my usual 105 - 45 round wounds so there shouldn't be any need to adjust the truss rod on your bass.
One thing to note is that the G string is cut a little shorter than the rest, so you'll probably only get a single wind on the G string tuner - I've had these on for a few weeks now and it hasn't affected the tuning stability in any way on my 34" scale length instrument. Plenty of windings on the other 3 strings though.
I don't have the original packaging but these will be well packaged.

Geddy went with the Maytags in the end - Electrolux and Hotpoint had a lot of reliability issues, then there was a wait for an engineer, then the delay for the right parts etc...
EQ'ing fits can sometimes be a matter of cutting some of the lows (nothing more than 200Hz) will remove some of the 'thump' - you may need to increase the master volume as you've removed a LOT of the energy of your instrument by doing this, it'll give you a little bit more 'poke' though.
Not sure about 'unacknowledged', but two of my favourites, Ler (guitarist of Primus) and Scott Ian (rhythm guitar and aeronautical tomfoolery for Anthrax) are firm favourites of mine.
