| "Indie" flatwound strings - Wow!

I just got SharkUSMC's Douglas six-string bass from the classifieds. I've had a few sixers before, and one of my main basses currently is a Washburn XB-600. I had wanted to try some flats on a six, but I don't want to take off the Circle K's that are on my Washburn. Well, lo and behold, SharkUSMC had put a set of "Indie" flats on this Douglas. Rondo sells them for $24.95 for a set, which qualifies as "cheap" in my book. To be honest, I sort of expected them to be crappy.
They're not. They feel fine, and the B is a revelation. Very deep and full-sounding, and not too boomy. Better, IMO, than the E from a set of Chromes. The E is also very good. I had thought that I might put a set of TI's on this bass (even though they cost $100), but that's not going to happen any time soon, if ever.
