Defective A string

David M. 989 09.08.2022

I have enjoyed Harley Benton items for many years and thought I would give these a try, expecting them to be a good standard and value for money. Sadly, despite very careful cutting (I always make two 90 degree bends in the silk before cutting to save damaging the strings) the A string was defective and rattled from within the string.

I contacted Thomann and offered to send it back for a replacement but they confirmed it was not covered by any warranty.

The whole set has therefore been thrown in the bin.

Don’t risk wasting your money on these like I did.

Good ones

Wanted to try flat wound strings on bass, but didn't want to spend a fortune. Very decent strings, in my opinion.

Cheapest flats I could find, but...

azrabella 19.05.2022

just a little too dull. Better than bright rounds though groundwounds are undoubtedly the best compromise - not too dull but not too bright. These are OK at a push though.

Excellent flatwounds on-par with major brands at a fraction of the price

Anonymous 25.02.2023

I've tried out many flatwounds over the years: Chromes, TIs, LaBellas, Roto monels, groundwounds, Fender flats and more...

I really like this. I find them totally comparable in terms of finish quality and sound with the strings by major brands. I find the tone is better then Fenders and the sound balance between strings (volume, sustain, tone) better then LaBellas. I don't use LaBellas and Fenders even though already have them, I still use these. And all this for a quarter of the price!

I don't like that many users say they are good "for the price". There is nothing "budget" about these strings, they're be great at 3x their price.

If you're considering getting them: just get them and try out.

Great strings.

Dextra 22.05.2022

My first set of flatwound strings and I'm delighted with them. Great feel. Bought them for my Harley Benton JB-40FL resistless bass and they're ideal. Will buy again.

Simply brilliant.

Paul Reid 02.05.2023

Fancied some flats again, usually use Fender or Ernies.

Bought a set if the Harley Benton value flats and have to day they are great.

Easy install.

Hold tune well.

Feel great on the fingers, sooooo smooooth....these are quick strings with none of 'stickyness' of some brands I've tried. I tend to play near the bridge and not too stiff.

Nice tone, quite bright for flats but, they respond well to different playing methodology.

Great flatwound strings

Gasman 01.10.2022

Bought 2 sets of these to just “try out” and compare to name brand / much pricier strings. After 45 years of playing the bass I can honestly say there is no perceivable difference between these costing $12 versus ones costing $40+ I would recommend these to anyone wanting to give flatwounds a go. These are a really good value. They feel superb, very high quality. Thomann comes thru again giving musicians great quality at a substantial savings!!

Great strings

Lord O 25.03.2023

Great string for a great price. Tried a few of the different Harley Benton HQS strings and they have all been good. Colour coded like other brands but more subtle colours so your bridge doesn't look like a peacock if the ends stick out. Good sound overall and have lasted a while.
