Not so much a technique tip, but I wasn’t aware of how much string noise I was generating until I started practicing through headphones. No amp-sim, no reverb, just a headphone amp. It highlights technique issues REALLY quickly!!
Bought used recently from a fellow BC'er and they're great sounding (and feeling) flats, but I've just got to face the fact that I'm not a 'flats' guy. These are pretty much identical tension to my usual 105 - 45 round wounds so there shouldn't be any need to adjust the truss rod on your bass.
One thing to note is that the G string is cut a little shorter than the rest, so you'll probably only get a single wind on the G string tuner - I've had these on for a few weeks now and it hasn't affected the tuning stability in any way on my 34" scale length instrument. Plenty of windings on the other 3 strings though.
I don't have the original packaging but these will be well packaged.

Geddy went with the Maytags in the end - Electrolux and Hotpoint had a lot of reliability issues, then there was a wait for an engineer, then the delay for the right parts etc...
