Chromes - similar sounding on different basses?

[Bobby King]

I definitely like D'Addario's Chrome Flatwounds, but more than any other string I've tried, they sound similar on different basses. In other words, they have a strong personality that comes through, overshadowing the individual quality of a bass. I'm not exactly saying that they make all basses sound the same, but sort of

Has anyone else had this experience?

[One Drop]

Yes, but only in so far as most flats have a tone that is easily identifiable from bass to bass. Because rounds have so much more highs, the tone really reflects the difference in the top end of different basses, which is what we hear as different.

That said, of all flats I find Chromes sound the most different depending on what bass they are on; this is due to the strong upper mids character compared to other flats.
