I tried these and can’t believe how much I love them. Most clear sounding flats I’ve played. Stayed up late in awe of how good they feel to play. The tension is phenomenal, not stiff at all but still can bring the thump. Because of the clarity and playability they are the most versatile flats and cover any tones on songs that I want to cop. TIs now are my second favorite as they are still amazing but modern/mid forward sounding with a much looser feel on the E string.

For those complaining about the price, these are the only flats you’ll need to buy for a year at least. Just make sure you wind them properly as mentioned in this video.

Shout out to "Mr. Music" Roland Belisle and his incredible wife Irene who taught me how to string my first bass back when I was 12 or so. Irene was huge in the regional scene playing double bass and she told me to always lock the string in with a wind over the string path and then stacking winds under, so any tension put on the string clamps down on the excess. I've used it almost exclusively ever since and I've rarely ever had issues with slippage.

I almost cried with the chords section <3

On the strength of this review I ordered these strings. They are really pretty great. As a life-long TI Jazz Flats player these new strings give a somewhat better feel. The looser tension is nice under the hands. I never change flats so now need another new bass as these are staying on the model I strung them on.

I like them. Would have liked to hear on a jazz bass too.

Gregor with the dress shirt, my man is looking spiffy today 👌

Are they more "old school" like labella/pyramids or more "mids range" like the ernie ball cobalt/thomastik? The absence of gaps between the wire makes feel that they will sound old school. It is hard to tell with a pbass.

[hodshonf]

just switched to EB Cobalt Flats from Elixir rounds - amazing

i'll check out the Dogals

[keithkenyon]

they really do sound fantastic on that bass. i'd love to hear what they sound like in 6 months or just fully broken in. got a feeling it will sound even better. 😁

[thephantomstranger]

Ok but how much better are the compared to say D'Addario chromes? Are most even good players going to see, hear or feel a difference equal to the price difference between them and a run of the mill set?
In other words do I get that tangible value added by paying more?
Again I have no issue with paying top dollar if you get top dollar,

[kristallbasses]

thx Gregor :-) I really have to try these Dogal flats.... . . ..cheers, Andi.

Very cool sounding strings. BUT how would they sound on a basic P or J bass? I mean, the demo was on an old school spec'd P-style bass. But I suspect that's a very high quality, custom shop instrument. How would those strings sound on a mid-range priced bass right off the rack? And let's face it, is there any bass that René can't make sound amazing?

[RonSmith]

Would love to hear these on a five string Dingwal

[marccarter]

They sound nice. A other great video. Danka

[BassRacerx]

do you have a rickenbacker to test with flatwounds?

[vnys]

But where can I buy them? Can’t seem to find them anywhere…

[TheMukenukem]

Okay, and where to buy these strings in Europe ? Thomann does only have a specfic set for a specific bass....

[gabedriver]

How do you tie a knot on the G string the same way the Lutheor knot on a guitar

[scottmatthews]

Can they be strung through the body?
Some brands of flats can't be used in a string through body bass.

[pansj.]

Sounds very great with the tone rolled off! Would you remember the signal chain you used? Any DI such as Reddi/DMP1073; or a mic'ed amp?
