Webstrings Flats

[nick]

Had a set of these Webstrings flats [url="http://webstrings.com/flatwound_bass_strings.html"]http://webstrings.com/flatwound_bass_strings.html[/url] on my Tokai P-Bass for a few weeks now. I have to say I'm impressed, especially considering their price.

Was initially bit wary, after previous uninspiring experiences with budget strings..Hartke, Roberts (dead E-strings) etc.

Used d'Addario & Ernie Ball, which I was quite happy with, but found .100 E-string of both 45-100 sets, too floppy. Going up to 50-105 Ernie Balls, and tension was all over the place & not comfortable (for me).

Webstrings 50-110 I got have a great feel. Tone has settled down nicely fairly quickly too, unlike Chromes.
Don't know who makes them, but have made in USA on packet.

Anyone else tried them?

Great flats - Recommended

Got them direct from Webstrings. No, I didn't pay any duty. Received them in four days - pretty good.
Would (and will) use Webstrings again.
