35" 5-string flats options

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm thinking I want to try some flats to tame my MTD Artist's excessive brightness. GC has exactly zero 5-string flatwound sets to choose from locally , so I'm thinking juststrings.com is the way to go (unless anybody knows of a better site!). What brand/models do you guys recommend that come in a 5-string set and work for a 35" scale bass?

TI Jazz Flats seem to be very well-regarded (but holy crap, that price! ), and D'Addario Chromes seem pretty popular too. I'm assuming the Super Long Chromes fit 35"? Am I missing any other good options?
