CameronJ Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Anyone tried them? I’ve bought their nickel roundwounds and liked them a lot, but wondering if anyone has experience with the flats. Very reasonably priced at €35 for a 5 string set of flats - significantly cheaper than the equivalent TIs, LaBellas and Ernie Ball Cobalts!

CameronJ Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) @KK Jale thanks! I did a search but nothing came up Edit: and yet, absurdly, I liked one of your posts in that thread back in March! Apparently I have the memory of a goldfish Edited December 10, 2019 by CameronJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK Jale Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Just to add, I've had them on one P-bass for 10 months or so now and am still happy - interestingly, unplugged they are still very loud and positive-sounding, they haven't gone nearly as hollow, thonky and quiet as a set of Labella FL760L's, which are admittedly a bit older. They are slightly on the firm-tensioned side for me but no worries as in this case 32" takes the edge off. Quality seems fine. UPDATE FOR POSTERITY SEPTEMBER 2021... I fell out of love with the Maruszczyk flats not too long after this ^ post. I lost confidence in the bass they were on and nearly decided to sell it but as a last resort went back to my favoured (and doubly expensive) LaBellas, and they transformed it - better feel, a lovely groovy bounce, a softer touch, far more even tension across the fingerboard and, dare I say it, more richness and "musicality". They're still on and I play it every day. So after a year or so of use I feel moved to downgrade these strings, for me, from "really good" to "reasonable I s'pose if you're strapped for £20".

Zef Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Just stringed up my Fender 60 CS Precision with flats. Thomastics 100 too loose, esp on the E-string, La Bella 104's way too tight, Maruszczyk flats (105 I guess) just perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
