    Will I be able to slap with flatwounds? If so, which ones?

    Hi All. I recently bought a secondhand Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar V. I'm planning to set it up for use in learning how to slap. On my other 5-strings (Ibanez EHBs, and a Talman Short Scale) I'm using most Dunlop Stainless Steel Flatwounds, which I love for their smooth feel, and also, the...

    I've had this new set on for several months now but need to 'tune up' each time I play still. Is it the strings still 'coming in' or should I suspect the OEM tuners for slippage? They have not friction screw to snug up, sadly. I'm planning on adding Hipshot USA Ultralites at some...

A "leather" strap (unlikely to be real leather) by LM Products that I measured 57.5" fully extended. She didn't like it because it was too wide. I tried it out but decided I...

    The flatwound bass string that’s been awarded many accolades since its inception in 1966. Wound with the premium alloy Monel, Jazz Bass strings sound deeper and offer more resistance than the more commonly used stainless steel wrap.

    Looking for Recordings: Fender J With Flats

    I put low tension labella flats on my J bass today… it was a revelation. What players have recorded a Fender Jazz with flat wounds? The more genres the better. Links would be appreciated. Live or studio. Besides Joe Dart on Dean Town… that’s a given.

    Looking for extra-short scale flatwounds

    I have a Squier Mini P bass and I'm looking for some good flats for it.
