GHS 3070 Brite Flats Electric Bass Medium Gauge Short Scale 49-108

I like these on my Gibson SG bass. They’re aggressive for flats and the relatively high tension prevents a floppy feel.

Reasonable pricing and fast shipping for a great bass string set. Ideal on my Short Scale Jaguar.

Best price, selection & shipping I've found. Plus I love their stickers ;-)

These are growing on me. I just tried these recently on a long scale (M3075 set) bass. Yes, they feel a bit rough compared to full flat wounds (GHS Precision Flats, D’Addario Chromes, LaBella Deep Talkin’ Bass). I’m getting used to it. I think it’s just the nature of the winds. I had two pictures to attach to you can see the difference (Brite Flats on a Rickenbacker and Precision Flats on a Fender-type fretless), but I don't see an option to add pictures. That's too bad. They are a unique tool. They are like very aggressive flats with an emphasis on the upper midrange. GHS says ‘Motown with an attitude.’ I hear these as sound of early 1970’s TV shows and early disco and Philadelphia R&B / soul. On the Rickenbacker, the tone reminds me of Peter Giles work with King Crimson on In the Wake of Poseidon and with Ian McDonald on McDonald and Giles. The M3075 set has a tension of 181.1 pounds and they feel pretty taught. As I said they are growing on me. The aggressiveness combined with the slam of the flat wound attack is compelling. I appreciate that GHS makes these. It’s good to have a variety of tools available for the job at hand.

These strings are like knives on the fingers. I use a glove on my left hand. These strings ate through them in less than three hours. I normally get a month of gigs out of the gloves either using flats or rounds. They bite so much into the fingers thst they feel sticky.
