Going through some bass madness here, 3 on hand, working on a 4th, close to heaven the way I see it.
I just installed the Thomastik Infeld Jazz Flats on my '73 true relic PBass, they sound incredible, not that loose, just fantastic, a light set with .43, .56, .070, .0100. Coming off were the Rotosound 77's - legendary - that I've had on for over ten years, high tension, zingy, overtones to the moon and back, so I was hesitant to take them off, I've had the TI's sitting there for over 6 months now, dithering on this and I finally just took the plunge, also because I can use the Rotosounds on the son in law's P Bass project I'm working on, a rescue mission 90's Korea Ovation Applause, nice neck, CL pickup, needed tremendous TLC.
On my Crucianelli Hollow Body thumper, I have LaBella's Beatle Bass set, perfect fit and amazing bass tone, but a bit high tension.
On my '73 JS2 bass, D'addario Chromes, medium high tension, snappy.
Here's an article that covers the bass flatwound strings nicely, and has a few details here and there previously unknown maybe.
Happy Thumping ;]
