Call me curious.... to what end is this list relevant? As you can already see the major (big name) string manufacturers all offer options that fit your needs.

whats the end game here? almost all companies have similar heavy sets?

So you're allowed to be curious about the OP, but the OP isn't allowed to be curious about strings? Curious.

I’m more curious as to why you want to make bass playing any harder

I put flatwounds on my bass (.045-.100) a while back and took them off after two gigs because I found them much too stiff.

I found that nylon tapewound strings (from Fender) do the job of eliminating slide noise while being much softer and bendable. I don't think I'm going to try flatwounds again, but I'm thinking of maybe trying D'Addario half-rounds at some point (though they're pretty expensive).

I tune to D Standard and I would use this list to look for new flats to try out. I currently play D'Addario Chromes (50-105 gauge) and Rotosound 77s (45-105 gauge). But I would like to try the Steve Harris Rotosound 77s to see what the extra tension feels like and because I love Iron Maiden.

Perhaps there are other boutique or lesser known string manufacturers that make heavier gauge flats?
