    I love these strings and like them much than the Cobalt The Cobalt strings are too floppy. My only issues with these strings are that the G String in the set could stand to be longer. I put these strings on a 1974 P-Bass, 1995 Fretless Jazz, and 1991 Fender PBAC 100.The latter has a string though body, ferrules design. The length of the G string only allowed for twice around the peg of the tuning machine. That's very much wrap book. Her Ernie, These are great strings! To make them even better can you manufacture the G string 2 inches longer?

    I have these on two of my basses, a pre-SG Ibanez jazz bass,and also an antique Korean bass, a Hondo, with a P bridge pickup and a soapbar bridge pickup. These 2804's are perfect for both of them, bright enough but not like a piano (fortunately), and they stay in tune. (Note that on my Fender P bass, they sound a bit dead.) Love 'em! Don't understand why the stores don't have these immediately on hand for everybody.

  • EB Flats...a good sound

    I prefer using flats on my bass. I've tried a few other brands but I like the EB's the best so far. I have a Fender Standard Jazz and a Geddy Lee Jazz, both with EB flats on them. The EB's have a nice, smooth feel to them cutting out any finger noise that may be present with roundwounds. The tone is great. Some of the other flats I've tried had a dull, flat sound. I know flats shouldn't be as bright as rounds but I do like to have some punch. The 2804's have a flatwound sound but there is some brightness to them too. I play different style of music, country, southern rock, classic rock, alt rock and these flats sound good for all styles. I would recommend the EB 2804 to anyone who likes to use flats or may be thinking of trying flats.
