Graeme,  Thanks for the heads-up.  I have tried Chromes a few times, but, I don't care for the feel/tension.  I will let you know,  sorry for the hi-jack, Andrew.

No Prob's.
  Played with them on Saturday at a pub we regularly play, and they sounded great!
All the people said that it was the clearest they have ever heard us, we allways got comments before 0n how good the sound was, so apparently it just got even better, and we only use a vocal pa. And the wife said some of the really low notes you could feel them in your chest nice.
  The flats take me out of the guitars eq, so we are not all fighting for the same frequencies so we all have more space in the mix.
  I'm using Picato 40-125s at the moment they have no ring just nice and smooth, don't do the slap bass like I used to.
  I tried a set of Fender flats they sounded nice but the taper wound B was really bad it just kept buzzing on the bridge, so I fitted it to my Overwater and Peavey Cirrus same result, contacted Fender they say the core is most probably thinner than most taper wound strings so I'll need to have all my saddles reset, makes them a really expensive set of strings!
  Never had that trouble with any other taper wound string, so I fitted the other 4 strings to my Tobias and it sounds nice.
  So if using a 5 string avoid Fender Taper wounds,the B might not work with your bridge.
