    Flatwound strings: thump vs punch

    As stated in the title, which flatwound strings excel in thump and which in punch? And are either thump and/or punch prone to boominess? But perhaps to start with, are thump and punch really two different qualities? Thank you for your input fellow TBers.

    Flats recommendation please?

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a set of flats that has more tension than the Thomastik-Infeld JF344 Jazz Flats but less tension than the La Bella 760FL flats? My preferred rounds are D’Addario EXL170 so looking to get a set of flats of a similar tension to these for my 60s...

    Old NBD, but another P bass wiring question....

    Last year I built what could be a birth year (1958) P bass for me using all Fender/CTS parts; 2 tone sunburst body, gold anodized pickguard, thumb rest, etc. Not exactly 1958 parts were a Fender roasted maple neck and Fender Pure Vintage '63 pickup. Came out really well - great feel and sound...

    TI Jazz Flats - dead A string ?

    Of late, it's perceptibly quieter and with less pronounced attack. Perceptible acoustically (not plugged in i.e. not suspecting electronic issue...) Thought maybe too low causing pickup magnetic attraction, raised saddle 1 turn, no difference... Almost 3 years old. Nothing special about A...

    Rounds which sound like flats

    Hi Everyone I've been experimenting lately (last couple of years!) with some Fender Flats on my main Jazz Bass and I'm loving the tone for most things. The problem is, I'm still having trouble with stickiness - normally things are ok, but last night we played an outdoor gig and, when the sun...

    Scuffed Flats and Graphite Lubricant (Sticky Strings)

    So I know a lot of people have problems w/ their flats and uke bass strings feeling sticky. Recently I've been playing a bass uke w/ Aquila Thunderblacks and noticed that the two thinner strings that have the iron in them seem to be much less sticky. Got me thinking. Has anybody tried...

    What’s the deal with flats?

    I realize I may be opening a can of worms here, but I genuinely am curious about something. I suppose I have to state that I’m in no way trying to disparage anyones string or tonal choices here. But I’ve seen so many posts on here that typically go one of two ways, either “I’d do xyz and put...

    DR "Legend" Flats in comparison to other, more expensive flatwounds.

    Hello all, I recently strung my bass with DR flats, as they were the cheapest I could find. I have no prior experience with flatwounds, but I can say that I really enjoy them. I love the texture of the flats and they certainly warmed up the tone. Also I may be noticing less rattle/clack, which...

    Darkest flats

    What are the darkest flats you've played? Thick, dark tone, focus on the fundamental without much - or any - overtones, minimal sustain. Yet not dead, well at least not completely dead.

    Thumpy Bass Recordings

    I tried a search but couldn't find an existing thread about great thumpy bass recordings. I'm thinking of bass that moves the song, thumps, thuds, walks, rumbles, etc. without sizzle, hiss, click, or clank. Not that there's anything wrong with bright bass tones, but I'd love to see a thread for...

    Six-string flats for string-through?

    Bought my son an ESP LTD D-6, but he much prefers flats vs the shipped rounds. Having zero luck finding flatwounds that are long enough for the string through design. Hoping I’m just bad at searching, and would be thrilled to be shown the light.
