Great Flats!

I'm very impressed with these flats. I started over ten years ago with some (very) expensive flats from another manufacturer, and they served me well. Decided to try something different (less expensive) this time, spent less than half the money on the Jazz77 flats, and they sound and feel just as good as those other strings, plus, I saved enough money to pay for another set! (Not that I need to!) Very happy with these.

Great Flatwound strings

I play a G&L L-2500 5 string, with through the body string routing. so I need really long strings these are the only Flatwounds I have found that will work, plus they have great sound, quite punchy. All most no music stores carry them, they have to order them so its good to find an online source.

Rotosound Flatwound Bass Strings

After years of round wound on a 5 string bass this is a welcome and smooth change. Easy on the fingers, eliminates most of the finger slide screech, and inspires a different playing attack. I am surprised with the unexpected and welcome punch of these strings. I am a convert.

Solid strings!

I love the feel and sound of these strings. They have a nice bite and growl to them. I am a little disappointed in the sustain, they don't have that "Sustain Forever" to them. But the aggressiveness is really nice. The tension is less on these which I like.

Fun To Play

Great speaking tone. Blends with the band well without overwelming;though strings were stiff slowing down my right hand attack (use fingers) but a little practice made perfect. Great clicking sound for solos. My Guitar is a Carvin LB75 Mahogany neck & body
