Gauges: 44-57-72-96-136; Super Long Scale (36")
Thomastik-Infeld JF365 Jazz Flatwound bass strings are designed for extended-scale instruments requiring exceptional tonal depth, flexibility, and precision response. Built using Thomastik’s renowned round steel core construction and polished nickel flatwound surface, these strings deliver the warm, organic character associated with vintage jazz tones while maintaining remarkable sensitivity and dynamic control.
A premium flatwound set offering upright-inspired warmth, smooth feel, and exceptional responsiveness for extended-scale basses.
The freely vibrating round core allows the string to resonate without a preferred motion axis, producing balanced sustain and natural tonal development. A unique silk inlay between the windings enhances flexibility and contributes to the signature warm, organic voice, while colored silk-wrapped ends help secure the winding structure for long-term stability.
Designed with influences drawn from upright bass construction, the JF365 set produces deep fundamental tone, strong output, and a supple feel rarely found in traditional flatwound strings. Each string is handcrafted and individually inspected in Austria to Thomastik-Infeld’s exacting standards.

TI super long flats sound flat!
After getting my first 5 string bass I did lots of research and found these strings to be the best option. Yes, they are privy but the tone and feel were supposed to be excellent and will last years and years. After stringing them up, the G,D, and A string sound nice and bright but mellow but then go down to the E and B and they sound so dull. Like I’m playing an upright. I know string like this have a break in period of about a month but I can’t imagine that any kind of brightness would magically appear after some playing time. Gonna go with my favorite “slinky” brand that also makes the best flats.
