Harley Benton HQS Bass 45-100 Flatwound

Maybe it is me buying flat strings for the first time in my life, but after recording a track a friend asked me why the bass is so dull. Maybe it is me getting wrong the flat strings concept, but it turned out I am never going to buy flats again. Now switched back to Elixir bright strings and this is the sound that I wanted.

I disliked these strings so badly that I would not feel OK with giving them to someone else. On my bass guitar they sounded like there is a high cut at 200Hz.

Got an E string core breaking at the tuning peg twice. First time I thought it was a defect, got second set few months later with friends order, exactly the same. I love Harley Benton products but unfortunately I can't recommend these, I'm stuck with two sets of flatwounds without an E string :(
