apparently, its the feel of round-wounds without the fretboard destructive qualities of them.

i think.

chromes are awesome, although, kind of expensive, but they last so long...

they sound amazing on hollowbodies/feel amazing all the time
i find the older they get, the better they get... until they get too old and start to smell, then you should change them.

I use flats on everything - the flat/thumpy tone isn't to everyone's taste but I love the feel, longevity, and no finger noise.
