Flatwound Strings: which strength

[xroads]

I am about to order my first set of flatwounds.
Currently, all my basses are strung with roundwounds, the DR Sunbeam 45-100 set
(occasionally also 45-105).

I am planning on investing into a TI set; I see 4-string sets 43-100, 43-101, and 42-93.

Which one is closest in feel to the roundwounds I am currently playing?

Thanks!!

TI flats come in three different lengths, each with a particular gauge. I'm not sure where you're getting those gauges from but as far as I know, it's like this:

Short/medium scale: 43-106
Longscale: 43-100
Super longscale: 44-96

You're gonna need the set that corresponds to your basses scale length.

You are right - I missed the scale length information. That clears it up, thanks!

You're welcome. Keep in mind the feel is gonna be very different than even the lightest sunbeams. They're gonna feel floppy and require a light touch, but it's totally worth it.
