I Love these new to me 40-60-80-100 D'Addario Chromes Flatwound Strings!
love the sound and feel, but the tention is not to stiff for my drumming fingers.
Thank You Talk Bass!
I read somewhere in here that these strings are close in tention to round-wound 45-65-85-105
So I tried em and I feel like these stings can stay on my bass as long as they don't break!
Plus I added a 51' p bass bridge cover to boot!
Thank you Talk Bass!
thumb rest is so sweet too
check the picture >>> 
I am really all drummer but man these strings are fun to play! www.davidmahoneymusic.com

| | | | I don't get the gauges you've somehow managed to get - I see "ECB80" that's in 40-60-75-95, and then there's "ECB81", 45-65-80-100.
I want to try the ECB80. The tension on the '81's are just a tad too high for me after being spoiled by DR round cores for so long.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2009 Location: Tropical Paradise of Winnipeg | | D'Addario Chromes Flats, ECB84 (40-100) - I love them both on my J and P. Nicely balanced - not too stiff, not too floppy.
They can stay on my basses as long as they wish.
