discreet Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) [quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1401017042' post='2459100'] FYI Mark the bass of mine you played last week has Status half wounds on it. [/quote] [quote name='Greggo' timestamp='1401228407' post='2461565'] I really like my status half wounds. They are great for having a flat feel but a tonality of a round that has bedded in nicely. [/quote] Hotwires arrived and I love 'em. Feel like flats but sound like rounds. What's not to like?? No dead strings in the pack, either. Thanks for the recommendations.

Beer of the Bass Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 How's the B-string on yours? I tried some Status half-wounds on my five string and found the B string overly thumpy, but some of that could be down to my bass. I moved them over to my four string fretless, where I think I like them better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That's what I like most about them... the B is nice and stiff - not floppy at all (fnarr, fnarr) and they're bright enough to get growl on a Jazz, but smooth enough to feel like flats. They sound like rounds that have been played-in - they will boing but they can thump, too. They work well with my new JZ3 Pre. Love 'em!
