I'm bringing this thread back up as I have now been using flats for a few weeks, and I'm sooo happy, I'm really liking the sound and feel
I went with a set of D'Addario Chromes ECB81, which are 45-65-80-100, on my Jazz bass and they are exactly what I was looking for but , perhaps a bit too much tension (...this is me just being picky now).
Now I want flats on my P bass too and I'd love to try different strings this time.
I'm quite positive I'm going to go for for TI JF344, 43-56-70-100, but after reading in various posts about the lower string tension I'm not sure....Has anyone tried both sets, Chromes 45-100 and TIs 43-100, and can give me some advice, please?
Are La Bellas comparable in tension to TIs or Chromes?
Finally, which ones, TI or La Bella, or more suited for rock?
Thanks!
