Best flatwound low B

[Deleted member 165050]

Having recently become a fretless 5 owner I am looking for the best low B. I'm used to either Roto 77s or La Bella LTFs on my fretless 4s so have tried the low B offerings from both and definitely prefer the heavier gauge .130 Roto 77 string over the .118 La Bella, but what other good flatwound low B options are there? Must have sustain and not just thump, and be available in a single of course.

I've played just about all the diffrent brands of flats at one time or another and the TI flats B string is the best B string I've ever played. It's the best regardless of Flats or rounds. They are expensive but really nice strings.

I have yet to try TI flats, what gauge is the B?

136B is the B string guage.

I havent tried the TI flats B string but have used the 4 string set and if the TI B is anything like the other 4 strings then it will be exceptional

That is a big B string... probably why it sounds good!
