Review: Love flats - but hate the G. Do not buy other brands, these are better. - Flats are awesome! Just make sure to adjust intonation after - it's only a 5-minute job and usually just needs a screwdriver. They sound great - not dead at all; and they keep a consistent sound for significantly more time than even expensive roundwounds. This is likely as they don't rust or get dirty basically at all. When you hear of bassists using 10+-year-old strings I'd imagine this is why. They're very quiet finger-noise-wise but you can still pick-scrape well enough with medium gain. "Jazz strings:" these work for cleans and neck pickups but also sound awesome for EVH stuff or classic rock just as well. Flats feel great and I swear keep in tune slightly better. Smoother surface, maybe? I use half of these for the wound strings and half of a "balanced tension" set for the plain. You can just buy a plain G and use the rest to save money - these will outlast many sets plain strings but are rather expensive. Quick note: other brands sell "flats" that are actually similar to the D'addario "half-rounds" which are also cool, but not true flats and without many of the benefits.
Review: Brilliant - Nice strings, good price, fast delivery

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the extra £
*by P***P on 29 November 2024*

Hesitated buying for ages due to the price but ended up getting them finally, put them on my Fender Jaguar - and boy have they upgraded my setup. Most sets of strings need to be tuned a few times when you first put them on. Not these! Absolutely zero slipping. They sound fantastic too and feel great to play. Robust and can take a good bashing, but also work well for more subtle playing, bending and noodling. Obviously they need to be cut down to size as there’s quite a bit of excess string, so make sure you have wire cutters or a string multitool.
