I've had Chromes for years also Tl JF344s and Ernie Ball Group 4 flats and came across the deep talking low tension LaBella's and thought wow got to try them but read on their webpage they are round core and I'm just not a fan of round core from past experience that when you reinstall them on another or bass or have to take them off and reinstall for any reason sometimes they no longer intonate (play in tune) as the wrap can slip off the round core. I've had this happen twice with some DR round cores. So before I buy them I thought I'd hear from players that have used them and reinstalled them. Thanks
