FYI Mark the bass of mine you played last week has Status half wounds on it.

I really like my status half wounds. They are great for having a flat feel but a tonality of a round that has bedded in nicely.

Hotwires arrived and I love 'em. Feel like flats but sound like rounds. What's not to like?? No dead strings in the pack, either.
Thanks for the recommendations. :)

How's the B-string on yours? I tried some Status half-wounds on my five string and found the B string overly thumpy, but some of that could be down to my bass. I moved them over to my four string fretless, where I think I like them better.

That's what I like most about them... the B is nice and stiff - not floppy at all (fnarr, fnarr) and they're bright enough to get growl on a Jazz, but smooth enough to feel like flats. They sound like rounds that have been played-in - they will boing but they can thump, too. They work well with my new JZ3 Pre. Love 'em! :)
