I just purchased a new Fender PJ Bass that came with Round Wound strings. I use Flat Wounds on my Hofner 500/1 Bass and love them, so I decided to replace the Round Wounds on the PJ with these Fender Flat Wounds and really like the "bassier" (less bright sounding) tone and easy playability. They fit perfectly and are a great value for the money. I noticed they are not as "shiny" in color as Rotosound Strings that I'm used to, but they play very well and actually look good with the black bass. No complaints here. Thank you Fender!

1. Excellent for anyone who is looking for the "Motown Sound," but, a bit too dark for my "Round-Wound" tastes. 2. These string "FEEL" great, and the green silk look really nice on my Natural-finish Fender-Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass, and,... 3. The increase surface area and resulting contact between my finger tips and the string surface does not increase finger-drag thereby slow me down. Great Flats for Motown Cats!

I think probably D'Addario Chromes are the best. However, you can't go wrong with Fender. They last a very long time. Maybe for years. I use them on a fretless bass. Great tension and tone. Chromes maybe have a little deeper tone but have more tension which a lot of players may not like.

I use Thomastik infield flats on my Hofners, and Gibson EB-2, however @ $70.00 a set (4 string), can't afford them on my J's & P basses. The longevity of the Fender flats doesn't compare, however. they are great strings (flatwounds) and have ALWAYS delivered the crisp thump, that is imperative for my style, and music preference.

These Fender flatwound strings are great! Nice plucky vintage tone, no string noise, and easy install. Have them strung on my Danelectro 59DC and couldn't be happier.
