Description
GHS Precision Flats bring back the deep, percussive growl that defined vintage bass tone, achieved through a distinctive cross-winding technique applied during manufacturing. Rather than a standard roundwound wrap, these strings use a flat stainless steel ribbon wound over the core, giving players a smooth, satin-feel surface instead of the ridged texture found on roundwounds.
The stainless steel used in the flat wrap is highly magnetic, which translates directly into stronger pickup output and increased overall volume compared to less magnetic alternatives. Beyond the tonal benefits, stainless steel’s inherent resistance to corrosion and wear means these strings hold their tone and feel over a longer playing life.
This particular set is built in Medium gauge and configured for Long Scale Plus instruments, making it a solid match for bassists who want balanced tension with the extended low-end punch and warmth that flatwounds are known for. The cross-wound construction also contributes to reduced finger noise, a trait many flatwound players specifically seek out for smoother position shifts and quieter studio takes.
