I’ve been playing bass for over 10 years. I have a MIJ Jaguar and had some old, worn-out Elixirs on it, but they sounded too dull on this bass. Then I tried flatwounds—La Bellas—but they were a bit too boomy for my taste. I was looking for something more balanced with a bit of character, so I went back to roundwounds after watching a ton of demos and ended up with these ones. They’re really nice—super fun to play. The only thing is, the high mids feel a bit too definitive for my taste. The low end is solid, and overall the strings are pretty well balanced. I’m running them through a Great River ME-1NV, though I imagine another preamp might react differently.
