These strings are amazing, nice and smooth, with an amazing tone, bonus is they cost a lot less than other brands.
Bass Centre is now my go-to shop. Thanks

I usually use a different, well known brand of flatwound strings but I thought I'd give the Detroit flats a go.
I am very impressed, they sound very good and I have had remarks from other band members regarding the excellent tone. The feel is smoother than my normal brand but now that I'm used to this I rather like it. The tension is perfect in my opinion.
The only observation which would prompt me to only give four and a half stars is that the cotton winding on the machine ends, particularly on the E string is not far enough towards the nut when fitted to a Fender 'P' bass, i.e. the stings do seem an inch or so too long. Despite that very small gripe, I will definitely be buying more of these in the near future. I am most impressed.
Great strings at a great price 13 March 2024 | Tavis
These are lovely feeling and sounding flats for a great price. In my opinion you can't go wrong.
Perfectly good set of flats 15 August 2023 | Simon
Compared to the price of other flats, yes, these are cheap, but certainly not just cheap and cheerful! Perfectly good compared to the other more expensive brand I had on previously.
Recommended!

Perhaps the best flats out there for the money.
I have now bought a couple of these sets and think they compare favourably.

Sound and feel great.
Excellent Strings, Excellent Service. 09 June 2020 | Laurence
I am hugely impressed. These strings are noticeably louder than the Rotosounds they replaced. How do you manage to make strings with higher volume? The strings are very slick and comfortable to play. Most importantly, the tone is beautiful too.
The service is very professional. I met Barry at the 2019 London Bass Guitar Show. He obviously knows everybody in the bass world, but he still has time to give help and advice to the 'man in the street'. Thank you

The Detroit Flats from Bass Centre are excellent.
After trying a few different brands of flatwounds over the past few years, I am really happy to have stumbled across these. Sound just as good as strings twice their price. Punchy with a bit of rasp, just how I like my strings to sound. Pleased to say I have found my strings and will be buying these flats as and when I need a new set.
Great service from Bass Centre too!

I love Elites Detroit flatwound bass strings, they’re excellently priced, they’re great to play and they sound amazing.

I decided to change from roundwound to flatwounds on my Bass Collection Power Bass. I was astounded at the quality of the strings for the price and would recommend them highly – ultra smooth, nice tension, and that lovely deep bass sound right out of the packet.
