I feel the same as BassBus on the Status full flats they were a bit stiff & not a patch on La Bella DT, but the Half Wound Status were great!!! Got a set of Status Half DBs on My Kingbass at the moment, But they don't make them any more :-( B
Thanks for the heads up SG about clamping the strings. I have found as well that Flat wound DBE strings are difficult to obtain and dramatically reduces the selection. For the time being I have stuck with my round wounds on the KB, but I may try the TIs out on my JD as it sees less active use at the moment. Either that or I persuade the missus that I really need another bass........ Smile
