    I bought these Pino Palladino Smoothies as I was looking for a lower tension flat set for my Jazz bass. I absolutely love the extra light gauge for ease of playing. They are super smooth and have a nice balanced tone across all 4 strings. Not too bright but just right. These are now my flat-wounds of choice.

  • Fantastic on a Jazz Bass too!

    I put these on a Jazz Bass and was blown away. I've always run flats on P-bass and rounds on J-bass, but on a whim I decided to put a set of these on a Jazz Bass and so happy I did. Easy to play and tone that sits perfect in the mix. I'm no stranger to flats but these are by far the best I've found in terms of feel and tone.
