fretmeister Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Any good? Im on a bit of a Steve Harris trip at the moment and fancy trying them. Are they smooth? Or a bit textured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmeDunk Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 They are smooth. And have a very high tension. Compared to Chromes: The roto's are more thumpier en have less highs, me thinks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Got a set and just put them on. Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I have used them for years and love the sound of them. Great strings. I have tried other options over the years but Jazz Bass strings are the best for me, in terms of tone - and value! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 My P-Ray needed a fair bit of a set up as the tension was very different to the La Bella low tension flats I had. now I have a very low action - might have overdone it a bit! I’ll let it settle and then decide. Lovely tone though. Quite different to other flats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeper Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I have these on all my basses having been through TI flats, chromes, fender flats, pyramid flats, Labella FS and FL, GHS compression wounds.... and then back through them all again before I finally tried these. lower tension than chromes but no where near as low as TI flats, they are ever so slightly textured so not glassy smooth like some flats but this is not a bad thing as they don’t get sticky like most flats can as the slight texture reduces the friction. they start off with a strong mid similar to TI flats but quickly mellow out to a more usual flatwound powerful thump sound. I love these strings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
