    GHS 3020 shortscale Precision flatwounds on PJ Mustang?

    I have a PJ Mustang, and I fancy sticking some GHS Precision flats on it. I had a set on a P bass previously, and they sounded great. Thomann have regular Precision flats, and '3020 L' flats, which are shortscale. I understand that a regular Mustang requires medium-scale strings as they have...

    Flatwounds without taper (on headless bass)

    I recently acquired a beautiful NS Design Radius CR5. My string of choice has been Sadowsky Flatwounds however the taper on the B string goes over the nut (remember it’s headles so strings are reversed) Has anyone modified taper strings to work around this or have nontapered flatwound...

    Flatwounds on jazz

    Hi I've got a seven year old 62 reissue jazz, currently with Thomastiks on. I find these a bit too low tension but was wondering how high a tension string can my bass tolerate, given that the neck looks so delicate compared to a precision. I've heard stories about people warping their necks, or...

    Heavy metal flatwounds!? Wuhhh!?

    I play in a three piece original act. Fall of Troy/Dinosaur Jr. esq. whatevs. It's music-ish. My main bass for the project is an active BEAD Using RX Steels (Super-steps for my EADG bass). I play a lot of chords to try to fill the spectrum as much as tastefully possible and those zingy...

    Why are D'addario XL strings so popular?

    I just put some on after a few years of not using (replacing a set of chromes) on a aria p bass and they are ok but lack the body of the chromes , that I have on 3 other basses. Thought I needed a set of round-wounds because that's what you do! Allow me a wine analogy - It's like comparing a...

    Finding that mystery flatwounds post

    Somewhere on a flats thread some wizard once posted a tip on setting up for perfect low action with flats. It went something like tightening the truss, lowering the bridge then loosening the truss off a bit...but I can't remember it clearly, it's too vague. Whatever it was I've searched for it...

    Where have Flatwounds Been all my Life???

    Backstory: I’m just getting back into playing after a long hiatus. I used to play in touring club bands back in the cocaine-fueled 80s. (See profile pic. Yeah I played Whitesnake. Don’t judge me.) I always played rounds because, you know, that’s what you did. Anyway, I just picked up a...

    Flatwounds - finger style - DIGGING IN TOO MUCH...

    Probably with any kind of string but I notice this tendency more with flats. Just can't resist playing harder and harder to get "more attack". Doesn't matter if I have the amp cranked so loud it's blowing the windows out, I still just tend to gravitate towards digging in to get that sharper...
