Reviews
- Pliable, easy on the fingers, low tension, fat consistent sound, old school mojo
- Smooth feel
- Smooth highs, nice mids and decent lows (not as deep as GHS, Labella flats but good enough). Do well in recording.
- The initial price is a bit high but they soon pay for themselves 3 times over in Longevity.
However, here's the not-so-good side of this brand of strings. They are expensive! Excessively so in my book and by the looks of things are continuing to rise in price. Does the cost justify the benefit? The only real and unique quality that TI Jazz Flats have over any other brand of bass flatwound strings I've played is, they are truly kind to your fingers. With plenty of give this is the only flat bass string I've used that after extended play don't hurt my fingers.. If it were only tone I was going after, and really wanted that vintage vibe on my Fender or other type of bass, I'd go with Fender Flats which to my ear sound a bit better overall and at about 1/4th the price are unbeatable. As with everything else, there are trade-offs.
I've been playing for over 45 years and in that time have burned through a many a set of strings. TI Jazz Flats are a definite winner for those that are into the vintage side of bass guitar tone and want a string that is long lasting plus go easy on your chops. I recommend them for now but am keeping a watchful eye on their price. Enough Already!
- Great sound
- Fast shipping
- Feels wonderful
- None
- Long lasting highly recommended.
- Nothing
I've used many styles of rounds and flats. I liken the TI Jazz flats to Rotosound RS66 in that Rotosounds have a very unique sound all there own amongst roundwounds. These TI flats sound nothing like any other flatwound string. To my ears, these are geared to sit perfectly in a mix (recording or live) with very pronounced, articulate low mids. They allow my bass to express its true sound regardless of EQ or what else is going on in a mix.
- Articulate Tone
- Great Feel
- Less Tension Than Typical Flat
This is the sound I've been trying to get out of my RIC 4003-S since I bought it 26 years ago!
Beautiful, deep sustain, smooth to the touch, brilliant light tension, and perfect all-round for everything I do.
Next will be sets for my vintage Höfner, Fender Precision, and Fender 5. Can never imagine using any other string ever again.
Just wish it hadn't taken me 26 years to find them!
