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 regards Jay

Anyone looking for a reasonable priced set of flats try these they are less than half the price of the usual brands i use i have tried just about every brand of Flats over the years and decided to try these Olympia Flats i made a offer On ebay they cost me £13, il give a review when i have fitted them and tried them out heres a link https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332486029353?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 regards Jay
