WebStrings Flats

I keep asking, but I don't get any info.

Who uses these and what can you tell me about their ball-to-step E length and tension -- say relative to the Fender 9050* tension?

Any other useful data will be appreciated!

Nobody? That's strange. I thought these were relatively popular strings here.

can't compare them to the fenders but they are good. I used the SS flats.
They don't have the sustain of the Chromes or TIs.
But they sound good, very good!

I got a set to use the BEAD on my Dean EAB fretless. THey are very nice. I can compare them to roto77's and Sadowsky Black Labels if that helps.

They are stainless like the Sadowskys vs monel as the Rotos are.

They are a smoother finish than Sadowskys...about the same as the rotos.

Tension wise, I'd gauge them to be higher tension than Sadowskys, slightly lower than the rotos.

Soundwise, they are a nice flat sound, albeit very new and the D string is remarkably zingy compared to the lower 3 . Quite sure it'll tone down soon. I'm not playing the Dean all that much these days, so break in will probably be long.
