jay bass Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) Saw These Marusczyk flatwound strings on bass direct website for£22 has anyone tried them ? https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/MARUSZCZYK_Strings.html i have ordered a set to try on my Fender 51 p bass with through body stringing, i currently have a set of la bella 52/110 flats on it but want to try a slightly lighter guage . my other p bass has a set of thomastik flats on which are great but at half the cost of the thomastiks i thought i would try the Marusczyk's i let you know my opinion when i have tried them.

jay bass Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Recieved my strings today yes they do have black silks, the silks do clear the nut on my fender 51 p bass with through body stringing il leave the neck to settle and do a set up later , as the la bellas i had were much higher tension so il have to adjust the truss rod etc. il post my opinion in a couple of days when ive had a chance to try them out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay bass Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Just to point out these are the LS long scale strings . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AREA Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I've had them on my BB425X and my Mensinger Custom Joker will come with them, when its ready. I've liked them alot. They've got lighter Tension. Not as stiff as Chromes or Fender Flats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chienmortbb Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 They may be the flats for me then. I trie dtye Korean Olympia flats last time and they were good but the G string was so tight (resists the urge for a crude similie) it was hard to play. I have always avoid the TI Flats route as I suspect the tension would be too low for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay bass Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 I have a 57 re issue precision strung with la Bellas 52 /110 hi tension a standard mex precision strung with Thomastik 43/100 low tension both are fine for me , i love the la bellas & thomastiks, but they are expensive. i would say The marusczyk flats are somewhere in between the two for tension. and sound pretty good to me , i havent used them live yet as only had them a couple of days well worth a try at thier price point.

Pow_22 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) Sorry for the ancient thread revival. Ive done a separate thread on some flatwounds that came on my Cabronita bass that im really liking and some suggestions are that they are maruszczyk. Does anyone who uses them have a close up photo at all please? My flats in question are uber shiny/glassy in feel, black silks at both ends BUT the above headstock photo differs slightly from mine in that teh silks on mine seem shorter Edited April 24, 2023 by Pow_22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay bass Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 Hi is this strung through the body or just the bridge as that will make a difference to the amount of silks showing at the tuners end. They definately have more of a shiny look than thomastik la bella or detroit flats. pictures shown are maruszczyk flats on a 57 reissue p bass without the the throughbody stringing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much for that. I think that settles that my current flats are Maroooosiks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
