low tension flats.... kinda

Labella 760 fl's .104-.043 feel good, sound good and they last a long time. About 30 bucks.

Ok I like flats cause they don't make a lot of fret noise and clank. I hate the high tension. Is there a low tension flat or another type of string I can use that will have no real clank. Under 40 usd please

You could always stick with rounds and use a foam mute.

Another vote for the TI jazz flats. Don't cheap out or you'll miss an unbeatable string option. I just pulled out a used set that had almost a year on them, sat gathering dust for another couple years, and put them on my Dingwall Super PJ 4. Like coming home after too long!

Smooth, quiet, soft and slinky, with beautiful woody sound.

The TI's will outlast other sets three to one, what's too expensive about that?

You wouldn't drink cheap scotch, would ya?

TI Jazz flats! Used sets come up often here in the classified accessories section.

Used>New...they're already broken in!

To much money

You get what you pay for.

When was the last time you kicked yourself for buying a good tool?

I have to go with the TI Jazz Flats too. I've tried several brands of flats and nothing even comes close to them (IMO) in terms of their tone and how long they last. They have a very low tension rating for flats and are easier to play than any other I've used.

I agree; they have a tone & feel like no other. I'm another one who, when I first began using them 10 years ago--and that set is still going, on one bass--had the feeling, "I'm home!"

I use Sadowsky Flats .040-.100 (fretless) or .045-.105 (fretted) and Labella 760 FL

Not a fan of the TI Jazz Flats... too loose!
