TI Jazz flats: pretty damn good

A guy posted here on Talkbass the TI Jazz Flats for 5 string costing him $57 but you have to keep in mind many report these strings to last up to 6 years or more so it makes them a best buy in the long haul.

In less your are stringing it through the body "regular" or "regular longs" will most likely work fine.

Soft just means light [i.e. 040 - .095].

You can get a 4 string set of TI flats over here for $65. I think the 5 string versions are $110 or so. In brisbane, check out The Best Music Shop in Jindalee or The Guitar Shop in Paddington for these strings at these prices. They will probably have to order them in for you, but they're worth the wait.
