All I use

[@henryjames2628]

These are my Go-to Flats. Nice Bob.

[@BobBlackBass]

Thanks Henry!

I was looking for a set of flats to try out on my P/J ( I lean heavily on the P pickup ) and you convinced me to give these a try at my next sting change thanks Bob

[@BobBlackBass]

Glad you found them helpful. Let me know how you like them!

[@georgegandara6054]

Agree with you!!👍

[@BobBlackBass]

Thanks, George!

[@nighttrain4647]

Great review Bob. I'll have to give them a try.

[@BobBlackBass]

Hey Night train, I don't think you'll be disappointed!

Bob, I like the Ernie Ball Cobalt Flat Wounds. I put them on my Ric. They are very bright like rounds. I’ve had them on for a couple of years. Still bright. The tension is good for the 33 1/4” Ric neck. Rounds on my Ric always seem floppy. Great flats! My gauge for the Ric is 40-60-70-95.

[@BobBlackBass]

Awesome!

I don't know you, but I can say we agree on strings.

[@BobBlackBass]

Thanks, Jeff!

I haven’t used the cobalt flats, I use the roundwounds, which I like. Have you tried LaBella low tension flats?

[@Cap683]

I have a set of the LaBella Low Tension Flats on an American Fender Professional Jazz II. They have that LaBella sound but are more pliable. Very comfortable to play.

[@BobBlackBass]

Not yet.

[@mannishboy1]

I love the sound, but do you notice rust developing on the strings?

[@BobBlackBass]

Hey Mannisboy, I haven't noticed that yet.

[@TonyOnDrums92]

I put some of these on one of my basses but didn't like them cause they had a very sticky feeling. did this go away for you? I ended up removing them for labellas and I like them way more.

[@BobBlackBass]

Hey Tony, I had no stickiness issues.

[@UnitedRedDevil13]

I had these on a fender p and no stickiness either. Sound and feel great. Just threw on some DR hi beams to switch it up.
