Flatwound ADAGIO PRO Electric Bass Guitar Strings 45-100 Nickel Standard Regular Gauge

I have two bass guitars, and practice and perform regularly, I have bought and use these strings on both of my basses the feel when playing is smooth on the fingers, and they sound brilliant, they stay in tune for a long time with the odd small adjustments, I still have had the same strings on for two years now, and haven’t had to replace any, the price for these quality strings is worth to now purchased a third set, and carry them with me just in case..

Upfront disclaimer: I'm a beginner and have no reference to other strings.However, I changed to these to see if they would be any easier on my fingers as I was learning, and to reduce that horrible finger scraping noise us noobs make. Wow what a difference. While others on the same online course as me (look up Josh Fossgreen Beginner2Badass on the internet) are showing the expected signs of sore fingertips in the early days, I'm hardly noticing a difference from day 1 to day 45, and the sound is much cleaner. Yes they are a little duller sounding than round wounds, but that's true of all flats. On my Peavey Millennium they sound fine, though they were bought to go on my Epiphone Tbird - which brings me to my only issue with them: the bridge end ring/stopper/whatever is larger than on my other strings so they wouldn't fit through the bridge on my Tbird. Disappointing since it's not mentioned anywhere about that being something to watch out for, but I'm new so perhaps I should've know from some other info. Anyway, they sound great and have helped me to tweak the Peavey into a smooth player.I can't say if how they are lasting but after a couple of months of about an hour a day playing I can't hear or feel a difference and the bass stays in tune day to day without more than a tiny adjustment.I'll be buying them again for my acoustic, and at this price I'm not losing anything if they show themselves to be sub standard once I can play much better.

Second purchase of these strings. I didnt want to shell out on Ernie Ball or D'addario flats as I was only putting them on a cheap bass. These strings hold tune very well, and feel wise are smooth but I do suggest giving them a wipe down with string cleaner just to help them along. Sound wise these are a more traditional flatwound, very woody and honest sounding although there is a nice top end to the D and G strings. A lot of thump on the E string. If you want a modern sounding flat maybe spend a little more but in all honesty the second time around I am very impressed. Got a good low to medium action with these strings. Overall yes I would recommend.

I have had these on my Overwater by Tanglewood bass for over a year now. I wash my hands before playing and wipe the strings and fretboard down with a clean dry microfibre cloth afterwards. They still look, feel and sound as they did when new! These things are going to last a long time before needing changed (this is likely true for all flatwound strings), however, given that they are priced more or less the same as typical roundwound strings, the value here is incredible. Most other sets of flats are 2-3x the price.I would recommend these strings for anyone but especially for value conscious players and beginners. Flatwounds are so smooth to play on you may find that you are able to play for longer than on roundwounds. Anyone that plays a lots of slides would really appreciate this.Tone wise, I would describe them as being well rounded and not overly dull. They do have a brightness to them but it is certainly very different to roundwounds. They are not super bright like roundwounds and if you absolutely need the brightness for whatever reason, these won't do. However, for daily practice, sweaty gigs or just to try something different, definitely give these a go!Strange bonus that I wasn't expecting, they don't leave that awful metallic smell all over your fingers that roundwounds do.5 YEAR UPDATE: Yes 5 years later, I still have the same set fitted. They haven't seen a lot of use in that time but they still seem to be in really good playable condition.

I’m a guitarist and. Very occasional bass player.Put off by most Flatwounds costing around £50 I thought I would try these.They feel good to me, a lot of people talk about La Bella and Ti’s being “super smooth” but these strings feel good to me. I think maybe if the strings are super smooth they would drag more!?I just about got away with the silk wrap on the E string (bridge end)I think they are worth checking out if you are curious about flatwound strings.Anyway they sound good to me and the tension is about the same (if not slightly less than my usual roundwounds.

'D' string snapped when I was putting them on, couldn't trust them at all, refund,

As a long time guitar player who has only been playing bass for under a year I really wanted to invest in a set of flat wounds. I love Motown so obviously it has to be a P bass,flat wounds and the obligatory foam damper.As a newbee I have no experience of flat wounds but I've found that I can get a very convincing Motown tone and unlike round wounds they are so nice to play. Incredibly smooth so little string noise when moving around the fretboard and just incredibly slick so it's easier on fast sections as your fingers just glide over them.I expect one day I'll bite the bullet and get myself a set of La Bellas but until then I'm extremely happy with these especially considering the price. I would happily buy another set of these.

I've always played roundwound. I really fancied flatwound, but did not want to pay well over £30 to give it a go. I chose these, I admit, attracted to the lower price (compared to others). It turns out, I am really impressed with the quality of these Adagio strings. For me, the feel is obviously different to what I've been playing, but the difference in sound too is amazing. I've been playing for most of my free time today and---from what I've felt and heard--- I cannot see why I would want to seek another brand. I recommend them to you.

I have a long scale base but the E string is to long and broke poorly made didn't try the rest I read other people had the same problem should have listened

Buenas cuerdas. Por el precio no he visto nada mejor nunca. Es una cuerda de bordón plano, y el sonido en mi bajo es genial. He repetido el pedido. Precio fantástico. Y el pedido llegó antes de la fecha.Repetiría sin duda.

Das Adagio 45-65-80-100-Set finde ich absolut okay und brauchbar. Der Saitenzug ist straffer als bei Thomastiks, aber geringer als z.B. bei Chromes. Die Saiten sind auch nicht "hart", sie fühlen sich gut an und lassen sch angenehm spielen. Der Adagio-"Sound" hat nicht solche charakteristischen Auffälligkeiten wie Thomastiks oder Chromes. Er ist ausgewogen und vermutlich "middle of the road" – mir fehlen da auch Vergleichsmöglichkeiten, denn meine Fender- und GHS-Sets haben andere Saitenstärken. Im übrigen bin ich Anhänger der Theorie, dass der Sound überwiegend aus den Fingern kommt – zur Not with a little help from EQ.Die Saiten sind "gutmütig", wirken aber zunächst nicht langweilig. Mal sehen, wie es sich nach einigen Wochen anhört. Sie sind "leiser" als z.B. Thomastiks.Fazit: Kaufempfehlung.

Da qualche mese ho iniziato a suonare musica jazz ed allora ho voluto avvicinarmi al mondo delle corde lisce per basso elettrico.Attirato dal prezzo, ho acquistato queste Adagio e, che dire, ne sono pienamente soddisfatto! Le ho montate su un Fender Jazz Bass 4 corde e ora so che non le toglierò più:PRO- si scivola che è una meraviglia e la mia velocità di esecuzione è migliorata grazie a questo- il suono, rispetto alle roundwound, cambia ben poco per le mie orecchieCONTRO- sono meno flessibili rispetto a quelle zigrinate standard, quindi è complicato fare bending o simili, ma questo a me non interessa molto.- peccato non ci sia la versione per i 5 o 6 corde.CONCLUSIONINe sono rimasto talmente soddisfatto che ho deciso di montarle anche su un Precision che utilizzo per suonare rock, punk-rock. Per il prezzo che hanno ne consiglio seriamente l'acquisto.

Je n'ai pas joué sur d'autres cordes filets plats à part celles ci, donc, niveau comparaison, ça va être compliqué...Cependant, cordes confortables, pas de casse au montage, tiennent l'accordage, son similaire à ce que j'ai pu entendre (cordes montées sur une baisse fretless Ibanez 22 cases), bouts avec fil , emballages individuels.Après une semaine de jeu, je recommande donc ce produit avec un rapport qualité/prix qui est très intéressant.
