    Flats for a multiscale bass with a 37" b string?

    Okay so, I've pretty much only used flats for the past 3-4 years and recently I bought an Ibanez BTB806S and I'm having a lot of trouble finding a set of flats for it. I've seen a few other threads and the only options I've seen are payson and pyramid strings. But I'm wondering if there are any...

    Flats On a 6er?

    Hello bass enthusiasts! I've always been a 5 string roundwound player but recently I got myself a 6er and I'm getting more and more into it. At the moment I have (Galli) flat wounds on it, mostly to get a different tone from my 5 string. It is great for a warm chord tone but slap and tapping...

    String Suggestions for someone who likes Flatwounds but also slaps sometimes (in the same song)

    It says it all in the title this time. I am finding my string preference leans towards flat wounds but sometimes I need the round wound bite, especially for slap on a few songs (and sometimes in the same song as a flat wound tone). I tried a search hear and on google but did not get any hits...

    Jaco Strings but...

    So I have the signature jaco bass, and I want to put on some strings that would sound like him, but he used round wounds which would destroy the fingerboard. So I'm asking what a a flat wound or half wound solution would be that would still give me that sound.

    Choosing non-roundwound strings for an acoustic bass guitar

    The phosphor bronze strings that came with an acoustic bass guitar that I bought were too bright with not enough bass, although they were nice and loud. I bought some tapewound strings which sounded great but muted even when I just played it with a couple of guitarists in a small living room. I...

    DGCF tuning and string gauge on a 34" scale bass

    Hi everyone! I recently changed my tuning from EADG to DGCF on my Yamaha BB1200s (34¨scale). The problem is that I´m using light gauge strings (40-100 DR Hi Beams (round wounds)), and now my bass lacks ¨punch¨. I would like to have the loose feel of the down-tuned light gauge strings to some...
