@hansfrank13 Well, the thing with chromes is, you need to break em in, they sound bright out of the box, but give em like 3 weeks and they're ready to be classified as mellow. I mean I tried GHS precision flats and thought those were uber dark, but I feel like I haven't given them a chance since I got turned off by their roughness/stickiness, maybe that's how they come new. How are DR flats? they similar to GHS p flats?

some people prefer broccoli, others prefer green beans - so go with what you like.

hey everyone ive had many flats, the chromes are very bright for flats they sound realy good on fretless basses, but are too bright for fretted. the DRs are physically smoother strings and are flatter flatwounds, they are warmer, more low end punch and are "thumpier" compared to the Chromes. the Chromes are great to just to bright for flatwounds, they are warm and "thump" but in a higher register,, so get whatever fits with the band,, with a trio the chromes are better, with a full band the DRs

Best Bass strings ever. All these young kids are into "The-Brighter-The-Better" Tone when it comes to strings. CHROMES ARE WHERE ITS AT!!!

Man you guys need to watch some Beck videos, you can't miss his groovy ways, he is a lot less of a one trick pony than Adam Sandler (8 crazy nights anyone?)
Flats rule.

stop playing in a band that takes cues from limp bizkit, that's some advice for you.
