ROTOSOUNDRS77S Monel Flatwound Short-Scale Bass Guitar Strings (40 50 75 90)

Well pleased with the order.

They just aren't quite as "flat" as I wanted. Still a fair amount of texture to the strings. I've used other strings that are silky smooth when you run you fingers up the neck for some accent notes. Still, far better than traditional round wound strings. I'll certainly keep them on my bass for now.

GREAT WARM TONES AND STABLE TUNING.Bought them for a Hofner Ignition Violin Bass not realizing that even though they are medium scale, they are too long.They work just fine on the A and D strings but the winding pins are too close to the nut causing E and G to not have any braid to thread the pin. However, I found a little workaround that may or may not work for everyone. I used a couple of small copper crimp sleeves and sleeved them down those strings buying me a little slack on the braids. The red end loops are showing just outside of the tailpiece "if you care" but I made the strings work and the tones are worth it.If you're not crafty, do not buy these strings for your Hofner.

The strings are a little on the short side, but they did -just- fit my Harley Benton Beat Bass (Hofner knock-off). Other than that, they play and sound great.

The strings feel sticky. I put them on a Hofner CT and the E and G string blue winding disappears into the post. They sound ok.

As a disclaimer, this is my first set of flatwounds so I don’t have much of a frame of reference.To me, these strings sound, look, and FEEL great. These strings feel smooth out of the pack; you could slide up and down the neck with these all day and your fingers would still probably feel fine.

These are probably great sounding and playing strings. But, I'll never know since they don't fit my 30" short scale through-body Fender Mustang Bass. The through-body design adds at least an extra inch to how long the strings need to be, so the blue fuzzy core doesn't clear the first fret to get behind the nut to the machine heads. Now I'm waiting for those elusive La Bella flatwounds custom-made for the Mustang bass...

If you're into the twangy pop&bop sound, these strings are NOT for you. However, if you prefer a very resonant, deep sound, then these will suit you nicely. I installed a set on my new Squire Jaguar SS bass, and they are marvelous sounding. No finger noise, easy to play, and a deep, rich sound. BTW, the Jaguar Bass has a 9-1/2" radius fingerboard which is no wider than a strat, so it plays faster than any bass I have ever played. With these strings it is like playing a strat or tele...it's that fast and easy. Rotosound has always been my very first choice for bass strings, and I am never disappointed.

Flats feel great, pricey though, these were at least less money than most. Very happy with the strings on a Fender Mustang bass.

Great product ! Arrived super fast ! Thank you !

Las cuerdas son buenas pero el sonido no es de lo mejor. Caras comparadas con otras marcas de mejor sonido

Have always used flat wound strings on the bass as they have a better sound and feel.

Por el precio están bien, pero nada que ver con las La bella, si es la sensación y el sonido que buscan, estas cuerdas no son las indicadas. Después de 3 meses la cuarta cuerda está totalmente sorda
