Hello all, first-time poster.
I'm looking to put some new flatwound strings on my Ibanez SR500. Currently, I have .50-.105 Chromes on the bass right now and I really enjoy them. However, they just seem to have a bit of clankiness to my ears. They've been on at least 1.5 years, and their clankiness seems to be characteristic of chromes from what I've read so far about them.
The local music stores that are nearby have Chromes, EB Cobalt Slinkys, and Rotosound Jazz bass strings as my options. I know most people will say order online, but I much prefer giving my business to brick and mortar stores.
I was wondering what TB's opinions would be on choosing between these strings. I'm not 100% sold on changing the Chromes just yet, but possibly in the very near future. I really enjoy how smooth they are, and tension is not an issue. I play hymns in my church and also play with some bluegrass and country players as well if that helps.
Thank you
