SH77 Steve Harris Custom Monel Flatwound Bass Guitar Strings - .050-.110 Long Scale 4-string Review

Been best flats I found so far

These strings have been a joy playing. They don't cut into skin like others. I've used a more expensive set and they kept breaking. Last set of the Steve Harris strings last me 4 months and still keep them for back up.

Good strings

These are good strings. Slap them on a P Bass for that thump well known in the music industry. I'm not saying they made me play and sound like Steve, but they are really good l

I can't say enough...

I simply cannot say enough about good things about these strings. I have been using flats on my Schechter for years but I just moved my LTD B-50 over to the Steve Harris Signature series. I have been using round wound strings on this bass since I got it six or seven years ago. This is my secondary bass as my Omen-4 is/has been my main ax for the last five years. When switching… read more from round wound to flats you more than likely will have to do a new set up or have it done as there can be a fair amount of difference in tension between the two styles. With my Omen-4, I took into Sweetwater and had their top notch tech's set it up as I was not sure on what to do and not comfortable doing it myself. These many years later, I decided to set the B-50 up myself and found it to be pretty straight forward with the right tools. Back to the strings, they are super smooth to play and provide that undeniable punch. Flats I find allow me to play far longer without any discomfort and again much like the 77's I use on my Omen-4 there is no genre you cannot play with flats. What I didn't say in my previous review of the 77's that needs to be said, I am a huge fan of the sounds from the 50's to through the 80's some of the best music ever produced (imho) and much of the back beats and rhythms were produced on flats. With that said, if you are on the fence, don't fret, give these a go, I am sure you will find that you will love them as much as I do.

My Schecter is now tuned BEAD

Due to my hobbit sized hands, I am stuck with 4 string basses. No worries, but on occasion I miss having a low B string. I have used d'aderio chromes for years on almost all my basses, so as I installed these sting I was shocked that while they feel thicker, they fit then nut on my Schecter. So as I was tuning up I stopped at BEAD...tension was solid, neck felt the same, action… read more was about spot on...plugged it in and, while it has slightly less output, they are very bright feel great, so yay! Sounds awesome, and I now want to try them on my Godin A4!
