franzbassist Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 What sort of tension are these strings, compared to say GHS Precision Flats, Pyramid Golds, or La Bella nylon flats. Quote
Matt P Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 i can't compare them to the brands you mention but from memory they were fairly high tension, higher than the chromes that i use now. i don't have them any more as i sold the bass that they were fitted to. as far as i remember these are made by Picato and had similar tension and feel to the Picato branded flats, i bought the Overwater branded ones as i couldn't find 5 string sets of the Picatos.

franzbassist Posted October 19, 2017 Author Posted October 19, 2017 Thanks Matt. If they're higher than Chromes then not for me! Cheers Gareth Quote
Matt P Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 glad to be helpful, good luck on your flats quest, i got lucky with the chromes, they were my first trial set and just felt and sounded right, saved me a fortune in strings as i fitted them 4 years ago and haven't changed the set at all. matt Quote
geoffbyrne Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 I currently have EB Cobalts on all 4 of my basses. Quite pliable, defo less tension than Fender and LaBella flats. However a lot of treble on tap. I love them. Depends what tone you like. G. Quote
