Pyramid Gold Flatwound 040-100

I bought these specifically for the beat bass as the description said they were suitable, however the green silk at the end of the string doesn’t reach past the nut. I had to trim the silk in order to fit them and as a result the E string isn’t sounding right. It has some harmonic overtones that make it unusable. Thomann sorted me with a refund but it’s still disappointing for such expensive strings!

The A, D & G strings do sound fantastic though, that real smooth thump you’d expect from flat wounds
