Description
SIT Power Flat Flatwound Bass Strings deliver the classic flatwound feel that made this style of construction famous. Rather than a traditional round wire wrap, SIT uses a flat ribbon wound directly over the core, then polishes the surface until it’s smooth to the touch from end to end.
- Ribbon (flatwound) wrap construction
- Polished smooth surface for a comfortable, low-friction feel
- Reduced finger and fret noise compared to roundwound strings
- Warm, vintage-leaning tonal character suited to jazz, R&B, reggae, and old-school rock tones
- Gentler on frets due to the flat outer wrap
Because the outer wrap is flat rather than ridged, these strings glide smoothly under the fingers, making position shifts and slides quieter and easier to control. Players who want that thumping, rounded low-end associated with flatwound sets — without sacrificing playing comfort — will find this construction well suited to the job.
SIT describes this string as one-of-a-kind, reflecting the particular feel and tonal signature that results from their specific ribbon-winding process. It’s a solid pick for bassists chasing a smoother playing experience and a darker, more traditional bass voice.
