- Feel- Sound- Flexibility (not too stiff with medium high action)- Durability (I've never broken a string).
- Some may find them pricey but I'm of the "get what you pay for" school of thought.
And of course, juststrings.com has been my go-to string supplier for a long long time. They’re the best.
- Great sounding
- Low tension is easy on instrument, hands
- Aging only improves strings
- Price is admittedly daunting
- Play great, Sound great, last forever..
- Expensive, but it?s one purchase you may never have to make again.
- Marginally better comfort than my usual strings
- E string is too light and I can?t get ?the beef? compared to my usual strings
- None smoother feeling
- Expensive
- superior tonnage. less pressure required to press on the frets. G string brightness is superior & can be heard throughout the fret board. E string "growl" is reduced to minimum while producing a much better warm cleaner tone. playability is superior and without fret noise or other strings chatter.
- A - D strings are smaller in diameter which at first feels weird compared to normal gauge strings sets. the cost of Thomastk jazz flats is the reason bassists do not buy it according to many reviews.
Killer fundamental if you play close to the fret board. You can get a great teaser type tone.
Oh and you can bend them like crazy.
Great vibrato as well.
I recently put together a Warmoth Jazz with an alder body and ebony fingerboard and thought I'd give them another try (along with a good setup) and am so glad I did: I got the action nice and low across the neck with zero buzzing (and I'm an aggressive player) and the smooth, supple feel exudes the most buttery tone with a minimal amount of exertion.
Point being: Make sure you really dial in your setup when transitioning to these strings before kicking them to the curb (I ended up having to relieve the neck way more than I thought I'd ever have to). They can be a bit finicky at first, but are well, well worth the effort.
I put them on all my basses. Nice bright tone for a flat wound and they last forever.
Love em!
Worth the price.
5-Stars:
- I've been using the JF344 set for about 3 years now. The tone and feel are wonderful. Very smooth to the touch. They seem to last a very long time. I still have the original set and they are still going strong. You can get real close to the Jamerson/Babbit tones of the Motown days.
4-Stars:
- For me the only down side is that they feel floppy. It would be great if TI would release a set with .105-108 for the E-String. I would even buy a 5 or 6-String set if they had a larger string available. It seems they only offer .100's for all sets except for short scale.
Outside of this, I would still highly recommend them!
