Independent shopping perspective
Low-tension flats for a long-scale 4-string bass, balancing the classic sound associated with the set with a smooth, flexible feel. Hand-wound, hand-polished construction combines round cores and narrower ribbon wire, while the design avoids the floppy response associated with other light-tension flatwounds. During installation, keep the wrap at the tuner confined to the silk portion of each string.
