Description
Some flatwound sets chase a modern hi-fi voice; GHS Precision Flats do the opposite, staying true to the warm, thumpy low end that defined classic R&B and soul bass lines. That earned them the nickname “Sound of Chocolate” among generations of players chasing an authentic vintage growl.
The tone comes from a highly magnetic stainless steel flat wrap applied over the core using GHS’s cross-winding process, a construction method built specifically to emphasize that deep, muted percussive attack rather than sustain-heavy brightness. The wrap wire itself is polished into a ribbon-like profile, so your hand glides across the strings with a smooth, supple feel and consistent tension from string to string.
Beyond feel and tone, the stainless flatwound construction brings practical benefits: greater output volume, a long usable lifespan, and a satin surface finish that resists fret and finger wear better than many round wound alternatives.
