first time i tried halfrounds on my Fender Jaguar,
always had nickelwounds on before. I have ECB81 flat wounds on my Eastwood EEB, and i like the feeling of these strings a lot, so I was looking for something similar. Its not the same feeling, but 70-80% of the flatwoundfeeling, for me close enough to considering putting them on my less-played basses....(to make me play them more often). definitly a good buy

Great Sound but allow time to break in

I use these on a fender p bass. They are a really good compromise between a flat and a round wound string. If you want a lot of versatility in your sound, these will do it, going from thumpy flat tones to clear ringing round ones (almost!). I'd say they sound more like flats than rounds, so that's why is just doesn't quite make it to covering all angles - think worn in rounds for the 'round wound' tone. Between the tone pot and amp EQ these give a lot of variation - so great for a gigging bass. They last a long time too, I just replaced mine after 2 years, but I'm thinking they could have gone on longer, flat style.
A small warning though, allow time for these to break in on the bass - at least a couple of weeks. Brand new they sound hollow and uneven, but eventually they even out to a mellow even tone.

Useful strings

I put these on my Jazz fretless and they allowed for a more sparkling sound than flatwounds without compromising too much the smooth playability. I am planning on trying thm soon with my fretted bass to see how they work.

I got them to obtain a more old school / 'Motown' kinda sound on the P bass but they don't seem to excel at anything in particular even after experiment extensively with EQ & tone settings.
