Consider going one gauge lighter than normal. *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024* These strings have the brightness of a roundwound and the feel of a flatwound. I play many genres, so a versatile string is important to me.On my P bass, I can roll the tone all the way off and get some really articulate low mids in my tone. With a mute, they have an excellent Motown thump.They are also fantastic for slap. I only need to turn the tone knob up to 40 or 50% with a fresh pack; they have plenty of room to mellow out and still maintain their clarity. With the tone wide open, you can absolutely shred some rock or metal tunes.I initially purchased the hybrid set (45-105) and after 5 hours of practice in a day I noticed my fretting hand was getting sore. I bought one gauge lighter (40-95) and these have similar flexibility to the 45-105 set of roundwounds I'm used to.The lighter gauge 40-95 set is much easier on the fretting hand. It has a brighter slap and pop tone, as well as a bit more clarity above the 12th fret. The hybrid set is warmer. Both sound really good, it's mostly just down to personal preference. Any tone difference can be dialed out with some EQ. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Compared to Thomastik Jazz flats . . . *by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2024* . . . these are excellent strings IF you like throaty, meaty, articulate in a good way bass tones -- which is also what TIs provide. These are what I think of when I think bass guitar sound. I play solid, up-tempo, catchy, riff-based, melodic, pop/rock/surf/punk. I am NOT nor will I ever be a slapper.These EB cobalt flats are soft to the touch but not too soft, residing in a Goldilocks zone for me. The TIs are a tad softer, maybe a tad smoother but honestly if you didn't have them side-by-side on identical basses, as I did, you might not be able to tell. Coming from a guitar player's perspective who never before played bass beyond casual noodling, who recently auditioned 14 different bass guitar brands, with mostly different strings on each, and who is 90% of the time using a pick (Dunlop Tortex .60 mm), I would be (and will be) happy to continue to use these as my mains on one of my basses. The TIs are on the other bass, and it was my first time using those too. There, instantly, I understood why most bassists regard TIs in such a high stature. They have a certain je ne sais quoi when playing them -- tone and feel. These EB cobalts are not worse, just different, but they ARE in the same category as the TIs, at $25 less. McLaren vs Ferrari. IDK, personally I think if you can swing it, it's worth it to have both. Knowing what I know now, why anyone would ever want to play the stock Fender rounds after playing these EBs or TIs is a complete and utter mystery to me. Yet that diversity is what makes life interesting. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars The best flats on the market *by C***C on Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2024* These are the best bass strings money can buy and a great value at that. They are silky smooth on your fingers, the tone is unbeatable, and they give you everything you need to rock out the low tones. They stay in tine in my bass, even when the bass is on the road- pull it from my case, and they’re in tune (yeah, part of that is my bass). I’ve only had one string snap on me back in 2020, but EB made it right, promptly sending a replacement. Otherwise, these things will last a long time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/21300651-flatwound](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/21300651-flatwound) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
