La Bella Electric Bass Guitar Deep Talkin' Bass Light, .043 - .104, Stainless Steel Flat Wound, 760FLstar rating 5J. ChandlerJanuary 18, 2010When I got my first fretless I figured TIs were the way to go. In the end I found them tonally/tensionally imbalanced and had to change, and I went through several brands. When I landed on these (specifically in this gauging), I decided I was done searching. These flats are awesome because they are tensionally balanced, even string-to-string response, and the tone is quite flexible. The warmth is certainly there, but yet these things even sound good played with a pick! I think the greatest thing these string have to offer is that they have a wide spectrum of tones that varies specifically with the user's attack, giving the bassist a lot more flexibility on the spot. They get my highest marks for modern and vintage fretless tones.

I have tried many different brands, but the balance in these sets never disappoints. They feel a little sticky in the beginning, but after a few weeks the feeling goes away. Absolutely fantastic sound from any Fender I put them on!! Try a set, you will not be disappointed.
