Stompbox Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Good afternoon - has anyone tried Olympia bass strings? There is a seller "Black Dog Music" on Ebay who is selling them - I'm interested because of the price - stainles wound flatwound s fro £16. That's cheap if they are any good, but, of course, that's very expensive if they are rubbish!!!! Just wondered has anyone had experience of them? Regards, Stompbox.

Ancient Mariner Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 You could try these: [url="http://www.webstrings.com/flatwound_bass_strings.html"]http://www.webstrings.com/flatwound_bass_strings.html[/url] $17 (obviously + shipping). They're decent, fairly high tension compared to rounds, sound good to me on a precision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstriper Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 They sound pretty good here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I use them on my Squier jazz, they seem to be OK although the windings are a bit on the long side and sit on the saddle of the E string making the string sound dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stompbox Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Thanks for the replies. In the event I've ordered these:- [url="http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/592-fender_9050s_stainless_steel_flatwound_bass_"]http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/59...flatwound_bass_[/url] A "Name" brand & only a pound more expensive, but £1.99 less for postage - so £1 off. Hah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
