They are unique. They aren't entirely smooth like Chromes or Labella. I keep vollying between removing them and keeping them.
They do sound good, but they have a bit of a lumpy "tooth" to them. So the B, E, and A strings feel a bit strange. They are probably one of the easiest flatwounds to play, though. They are actually pretty lively for a flat-wound.
I thought they might have been pretty smooth, surface wise. Never used them but am considering it
 
I'm digging the Black Beauties 40-100 set on several basses. First bought a set to go on my blacked out Peavey Unity LTD PJ bass and really liked the sound, look and feel. Have since put a set on a fretless and am putting another set on my current main fretless soon.

I play a bit of everything but currently in a jazz band.
