I just put a set on my Fender American Original 60s Jazz and man!! These strings are awesome! I've been using GHS P flats for a year and a half now and these are actually kind of similar in the lows and highs. The bigger gauge E and G really balance out the sound better than the GHS. After some time, if they age well, these might be my new favorite flats.

Which GHS set (which gauges) were you using?

I just put these on a P bass, and I’m really digging them. Really great feel and tone. A little clearer and more fundamental than the DTF, but barking up the same tree. Hex core does help with that flat buzz you get when you really dig in. Killer E string that’s more consistent with the set than many other flats I’ve tried. Not sure why the A string is an 80, but it still works. Highly recommend these.

Yes very nice, as usual need a little breaking in, very musical. As others have said a bit more brightness and high end subtleties than the Deep Talkin’ Bass. A little less of the dry percussive thud, more a thump.

Anyone use these on a 5 string? Wondering how the B string is. Do they (the whole set) retain brightness for a while?

I just put a set on my 5 string today. The B string doesn’t disappoint! Nice and clear fundamental, and the pitch is great all the up to the G on the B string. Which is better than a lot of rounds I’ve used.

I’ve also had a set on my Fender CS P for a few months. They’re breaking in nicely, but still retain clarity and a quick punch. The mids and articulation are fantastic on these, IMO. Definitely my new favorite all around flats.

Here they are! Theyre Labella flats alright. I put them on my MIM P with Duncan Antiquity II's (my FAVORITE vintage repro pickup out today). I cant really say much about them as they're brand new flats and I'm going to have to give these a couple months/years to see how they deaden up. I recorded a demo after work, and compared to the .104 gauge labellas, I like em tension wise! Here is said noodling.

I know it’s been a couple of years since this post. How do they sound after the break in?

I haven’t had the same bass all this time, but I will say every bass I have besides my rounds P and my squier rascal have these strings. I think that’s 3 basses? But yeah I really like em. Like a Labella but with an interesting twist.

　HHave they retained that heightened upper mids/clarity even after being played for a while?
