Thomastik-Infeld JF344 Jazz Nickel Flat Wound Round Core Bass Guitar Stringsstar rating 5Rick PascualFebruary 9, 2011I almost ashamed to admit that I've had the same set of TI's on one of my basses for almost 7 years! They still sound lovely and stay in tune which I can't believe after all this time. I'll leave these on as long as they continue to deliver. I also have them on all six of my fender basses and my five string Music Man. I keep one other bass strung with round wounds because sometimes you need that twang don't you?

Bought a set based on T-I recommendations, and WOW! 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!
Thomastik-Infeld JF344 Jazz Nickel Flat Wound Round Core Bass Guitar Stringsstar rating 5FernandMarch 30, 2010The ti flats are a legend - in use by all the studio heavies. They manage to have a rich singing timbre in spite of very low tension. these are extremely expressive with a complex tone and they stay that way for years. They work very well on both fretted and fretless. The only area in which you might want something else is for bzonnkkg slapping and popping.
