    I was getting tired of the Thomastik flats and decided to give these a try. Glad I did, good gauge, sound and feel for my rickenbacker bass.

    Played Rotosound roundwound standard gauged for my near entirety of bass playing. Eventually switched over to their flatwounds and was able to get a much more classic "motown" like vibe on my precision bass. I always felt that my bass strings were always a little stiff and thought maybe I'd try a lighter gauge. While some of that nice thump that I loved is not nearly as prominent, these bass strings are ridiculous. Never thought I'd be able to bend a whole step on my bass guitar with ease. I've had a blast playing on these and would recommend them for anyone who still wants a nice vintage thump to their sound, but likes going super easy on their fingers.
