Update on my olympia flats
i depped with a 60's Band on friday night and used my 70's Vintera Jazz Bass strung with the olympia Flats
absoloutly no problem they sounded great for this Genre of music and felt comfortable to play all night
far less tension than the La Bellas ive used in the past.
so for me a bargain . il leave them on and monitor there performance.

Yea Flats are an investment i rarely change them , they seem to imrove and mellow out over time and use.
the only time i usualy put a new set on is when i buy a instrument and change the strings before doing a set up
this is the case with the olympias, i have just bought a Vintera Jazz strung with roundwounds and want to try it with flats
i have 3 fender p basses 2 strung with Thomastiks a 51 jap re issue and 62 mex re issue and the other a 57 classic ressiue with a set of Maruszcyk flats
they all sound good to me and are comfortable playing wise , The Thomastiks are lower tension , the Marusczyks are slightly tighter but not as high tension as the La Bellas.will be intersting to see where the olympias sit in comparison.

Yea i have tried and used most brands of flats over the years , la Bella Thomastik , Ernie ball Rotosound , D addario , Fender etc
i recently tried Maruszczyk Flats which are good value at £26 from Bass direct . just thought id try these , and see if they match up to any of the strings ive used previously. il let you know my findings when ive tried them

These are great basses, with a very wide tone pallet , very well built with good quality hardware and great looks.
fully adjustable bridge And nut.
i strung mine with thomastik short scale flats JF324 which fit perfectly.
if you need a case the hofner verythin case is a perfect fit.
if i didnt already have one i would snap this up, its a absolute bargain!

Do they have silks at the ball end? The packet picture looks like they don’t.
Hi yes black silks both ends, nice strings .

I can post this if required in a hard hofner bass case , i wouldnt trust it in a gig bag, Also any insurance would be invalid unless its in a hard case.but i would have to charge for the hard case + postage best price would be £620
hence discount for collection

Try Maruszcyk F4 flats 45/65/85/105
they are lower tension than the la bellas but higher tension than the thomastiks
they sit somwhere in the middle.
but do sound brighter than la bellas or thomastiks available from bass direct £22 a set
well worth a punt.

I have a 57 re issue precision strung with la Bellas 52 /110 hi tension
a standard mex precision strung with Thomastik 43/100 low tension
both are fine for me , i love the la bellas & thomastiks, but they are expensive.
i would say The marusczyk flats are somewhere in between the two for tension.
and sound pretty good to me , i havent used them live yet as only had them a couple of days
well worth a try at thier price point.
