I bought a 6 string bass about 3 years ago with the goal of having it made fretless. I had it converted and all was well until I had to find a pack of flat wounds for a 6 string bass. I couldn’t tell you what company made the first set I got ($42ish) The strings were too thin. Then I discovered Robert “Bubby” Lewis and saw that he used these exact strings on his fretless, while they are a bit pricey, it’s actually cheaper here than from the manufacturer and it’s great quality with a lasting sound. 10/10

Following a tip-off from Youtuber; 'Scott's Bass Lessons' I decided to give these a go. Apart from the seller's speedy delivery my biggest satisfaction comes from the sheer expansiveness of the sound available from these strings on my bass. They opened up all the 'head tones' I had been striving for along with the playing technique I had been attempting with regular flat wound strings. The internal metalwork combined with the warm muted effect and silky feel of the wound tape has brought a level of performance and enjoyment I previously only dreamed of. Now, with minimal effort (and little discomfort) I am able to bend notes and achieve a 'slap/picked' sound which adds greater depth and colour to the lines I have been wanting to master. Far from the dull 'thump' I had been expecting they spoke with 'zingy' twang like a Rick on full tone and with a crisp and deep bloom with tone full down. At a price point which is easily affordable to any player I'd say these strings would open up a new adventure for any bass player. Five stars well earned.Read full review

Tried these on my fretless acoustic bass and they make it sound lot like an upright double bass. I like the soft thump tone. Sometimes you need to be a bit understated and work with percussion rather than sound harsh and overwhelming playing bass-lead. These strings got the classic bass voice. I just wish they were a bit less expensive, so I hope they last a long time. I'm going to try some La Bella black nylon wrapped guitar strings on an ES335 next and see how they do jazz.

I got these strings for my 6 string fretless bass, I love the sound, so warm and full, the touch of the strings is so soft and pleasant. Unbeatable price.
