Flat wound strings?

[hubberjub***]

I used to use Thomastik-Infeld flatwounds on my Heritage Eagle (big honkin' jazzbox). I describe the sound as 'mellow'. I put a set on my Strat a few years back and was not impressed with the results. Currently, my Eagle is set up with half-rounds which I like because the bass string have a little more chime.

I experienced the same thing. Loved the way they sounded on the ES-135, hated the way they sounded on the strat.
