Highly praised by Bass Player Magazine as their favourite flatwound string. Unique materials produce a unique tone.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Just Buy It...
I'm a newbie to bass, but I've studied guitar since my teens. I bought the Ibanez bass starter kit a few months ago and even though the strings on that sound OK and basically do the job, the round wound strings naturally pick up a lot of that hand slide noise when you move from one position to another.
These strings cut that unwanted noise back quite dramatically. Plus they just sound so much fuller and "basier" (is that even a word?) than regular strings. No doubt due to the heavier gauge settings (.050; .075; .095; .110).
They glide so well that you can slide from 1st position to 12th position without hearing the movement, which is great for playing anything that requires many position changes.
They sound great when you're trying to thump out any Iron Maiden bass line, but I really like to play Black Sabbath bass lines with them because the sound is deep and heavy.
When I can justify buying a Fender P-Bass I will be using these strings...

These flatwounds are beautiful. They are slightly darker than D'Addario Chromes, but slightly brighter than more traditional flatwounds. They are fantastic for those seeking a Geezer Butler/Steve Harris tone. Highly recommended.
Wow!
I never tried flatwound strings or any strings made by Rotosound. Since I'm an Iron Maiden fan, I thought I'd try these on a P/J type bass. I selected these specific strings because my bass has a maple frettboard (not rosewood) and it really gives it a high end sound. The flatwounds, bring up the bottom end and tone down the high end to balance the bass out regardless of whether I favor my Precission pickups or the Jazz ones. The actual feel of these strings is not as rough as roundwound strings. However, since they are a very heavy gauge, I find myself working harder to press on the fretts. No big deal.
I switch back and forth between finger style and picking. For some odd reason, I thought you couldn't use a pick on flatwounds, but I was proven wrong. They definitely have a unique clear, but mellow sting to them when picked!
All in all, not bad for the price.
