I used them on a Lakland bass with no issues. funkyjazzjunky Senior Member Username: funkyjazzjunky Post Number: 542 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Sunday, February 07, 2010 - 1:52 pm:    If you play compressed or ground roundwounds you may try GHS, Labella, RotoSound & (thanks to this forum) Pyramid sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 717 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Sunday, February 07, 2010 - 5:04 pm:    I just purchased 6 sets of "Pyramid Gold " flat wound strings. 3 short and 3 long. dluxe Member Username: dluxe Post Number: 55 Registered: 11-2009 Posted on Sunday, February 07, 2010 - 7:48 pm:    Where did you buy the Pyramid strings from? I've been looking for a set for my Series 1. crgaston Senior Member Username: crgaston Post Number: 572 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Sunday, February 07, 2010 - 8:07 pm:    Alembic strings are pretty good, as are the DR's. Also, juststrings.com carries the Pyramids. They are a great place to get strings. dluxe Member Username: dluxe Post Number: 56 Registered: 11-2009 Posted on Sunday, February 07, 2010 - 8:49 pm:    I'll check out juststrings.com then.

They offer a better price and are very dependable on delivery. Free polishing cloth? Where's mine??? They always send me free little bags of picks. I just throw them in my junk box - Oh I see. Hmmmm, they say Elixir on them. It must be free goodies according to what the string manuafactures are passing out with their strings. sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 722 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 - 7:10 pm:    The just strings prices on Pyramid flatwound bass strings appear to be higher then else where . poor_nigel Member Username: poor_nigel Post Number: 58 Registered: 11-2009 Posted on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 - 7:46 pm:    I sit corrected. You are right on the Pyramids. I use round-wounds, and I like Elixir Nanowebs best. Just Strings does have the best price on those I can find. If you can find a better price including shipping, I will happily sit corrected once again, enjoying a savings next time I purchase a batch.
