    Rotosound Flats

    Hi Talkbass, i discovered a really old un-opened packet of Rotosound flats in a box of old music stuff the other week and decided to string my Precision elite with them, I never play flats but found these to feel and sound really nice, I'm not sure how people feel about the Rotosounds these...

    Need help choosing new flatwounds

    Hello all, first-time poster. I'm looking to put some new flatwound strings on my Ibanez SR500. Currently, I have .50-.105 Chromes on the bass right now and I really enjoy them. However, they just seem to have a bit of clankiness to my ears. They've been on at least 1.5 years, and their...

    Flatwounds of Sire V7

    Mysterious half-round strings, purple silk wrap top and bottom -

    Got this sea-foam green metallic P-Bass Special bass that I bought used with a set of strings on there which I love the sound and the feel off. Unfortunately the E-String developed a defect, giving me a buzz, so I needed to replace it. Thought the strings were the original Fender strings, but...

    Why does the E string always sound deader than other other strings with flatwounds?

    I've had this experience with every set of flats I've tried, the ADG strings mellow to a nice, round sound after getting played in and the E just goes totally dead. Happened with the GHS P Flats (E was dead right of the box), D'Addario Chromes (Shame because I liked these otherwise)...the best...

    La Bella Nylon Tape -- Round-wound Core?

    Hi Everybody, I have been using La Bella 760N Black Nylon Tape strings on my 80s Guild Pilot (EMG pickups). I found they gave a nice round tone, but also there was plenty of snap left for playing slap, funk, dance tunes. Then one broke and it looks like the core was actually round wound...

    Compression and flatwounds?

    I use flats on a Stingray as my typical tonal starting point. I roll most of the highs off of my bass and play through a Fender Bassman tube amp. I say all this to say that my tone is fairly old school and dark. Many of the YouTube compressor examples I see are folks with rounds and a really...

    ErnieBall Slinky Flatwounds are frickin loud!

    That's basically it. I had a set of Super Slinky (45,65,80,100) on my Stingray and wanted to checkout some Flats again, so I got some Super Slinky Flatwounds (the Cobalt ones, same gauges). These flatwounds are a LOT louder than those rounds! Which is weird to me. I haven't done a lot of string...

    Tuning to Eb, Flatwounds, Tension, arthritis ect.....my journey.

    I have been playing for the better part of 35 years with much to little attention paid to the strings I used or the tension differences between strings. Over the past 15 or so years I have have been more acutely aware of these things as I have become a string junky thanks largely in part to TB...

    Make flatwounds sound like rounds

    I've been brainstorming ideas for a possible wet/dry rig. The dry portion I would like to keep the sound of my flatwounds, but for the wet side, I was wondering if there was a pedal that could make them sound more like rounds to push some extra harmonics into my dirt pedals. OD pedals on their...

    Why I think flatwounds can be so addictive.

    Tone! Duh... But seriously, once you train your ear in on the fundamental and clear away some of the overtones and distractions.... you can truly hear better. Switching to flatwounds and starting singing were the two biggest aids in improving in my musicianship in 35 years of playing. I...
