Good Strings

These strings give you that great flatwound sound and feel. I put these on my Gibson SG bass, and they even fit a short scale fine. These are just as good as any other flatwound strings out there, but without the price.

You get what you pay for !!!

I tried these on my 1952 Precision (not a reissue, it has a 4 digit s/n on the bridge starting with 01**). I did not care for the feel of them. I pick with my thumb and fingers and I found them to be as lifeless as tapewounds and they even had a stickier feel than tapewounds. I did try playing them with a pick but it was still thud city. After a couple of weeks I put the D'Addario Half Rounds I took off back on the old girl and like magic I had great tone again. I realize they're inexpensive however, they made a bass that is a piece of history sound like junk.

    I've been using rounds forever but wanted to try flats. These have pretty good brightness and are comfortable to play. I don't know if I'm going to switch from rounds on my other basses but so far I like this set.

  • Not quality strings for the price.

    At the price for this set of strings, the life of the set is short lived.

  • Fantastic Flatwounds

    Fender Flatwound Bass Strings are great and affordable compared to some other brands. They project a warm tone with an easy to play feel. Highly recommended.

    Bought them to replace the strings that came on my bass. The first thing I observed after restringing was that the fret buzz on my A string stopped. I definitely like the greatly reduced finger noise and the feel is good. If you want to try flat-wounds, I recommend you try these.

  • Great budget flatwounds

    Got them on sale and happy with the sound! Not worth spending extra on other brands. Definitely recommended if you are into flatwounds tone
