I've got mine on a fretted bass, so don't know how much bloom and mwaah they have... but they make my fretted acoustic bass sound more like a double bass than a big acoustic guitar... I hate phosphor bronze strings... too zingy, too much finger noise.[/quote]
Go on.. bite the bullet.. get a double! My last car was a Punto, so you don't have to have an estate.

I'm on Picato flats these days, as they're the only folks I could persuade to make an odd custom set. 5-string headless flats? See:

I'm using a Crafter Congress 5FL with a head at the mo, so I'm using Picato 766 flats on that; thoroughly enjoying the tone:

May well give La Bella a try as well since we have some of those somewhere.
Anyone know who actually makes the Status strings?
