I replaced a set of light gauge Chromes with these mediums on my modified Standard Jazz bass. I already liked the lights but I love the medium gauge version. Solid, deep tone with not a lot of difference in playability. Just tightened the truss rod enough to bring the fingerboard almost flat with almost no relief. I can dig in and get that "Mwah" sound that's so cool on a fretless. I've used light Chromes on other basses - a fretless Breedlove acoustic, and a Japanese '62 reissue P-bass. They last a long, long time and the tone is really nice. Definitely recommend!

These strings have a nice warm sound and are very easy on the fingers. If you like a little snap to your tone, they will also do that with a little adjusting of your tone settings. I find that they are a little bright when new, but they do mellow out as you use them. Give them a try. You won't be sorry. hiram4tg

Great value, sound great on my Precision bass. Feel great, very balanced tonally with nice high end for a flat wound string. Using a pick closer to the bridge, you can get the round wound vibe too. I like these better than the expensive Thomas-Stik flat wounds that I've been using. I like the medium gauge, wouldn't go many lighter but maybe heavier.

I had always played roundwound bass strings in the past. Decided to try some flatwounds on one of my basses that is more of a P bass type bass. They are really different from roundwounds in feel and sound, and I'm kind of liking them for certain types of music. I was surprised that flats cost more, but the price on the D'Addarios wasn't too bad so I bought them.

Nice and smooth to the touch and to the ear. Perfect for old blues and rock music. Strings require a higher tension than the same size of round wounds that I had been using, this allowed a fairly big reduction in the string height. The initial twang of new strings went after a couple of weeks making them sound even better on my modern bass that has active pickups. Yet to see how long they will last, but would certainly consider buying them again.
