Brand : Rotosound

Type : Jazz 77s

Wound type : Flatwound

Guage : I used the Standard Guage, but there are a few others

Treble tone : Suprisingly, the treble is actually not bad considering they're flatwounds. They're Monel wound, so they still have a bright twang to them, but obviously not as much as a roundwound

Midrange tone : Not so bad, I'd give it a 7/10

Bass tone : Flatwounds are made for the lowend. So much thump its unbelieveable

Styles of music : Jazz, Classic Rock, Blues, just about anything else as long as you like the tone

Lifespan : A good set of flatwounds can last you a lifetime. You can play them until you snap them.

EDIT*
Oh, I felt I should say. Do NOT buy these strings if you slap a lot. They're good for about everything, but not slap.

Tapping can be a little hard too, but not impossible
