    Which flats or tapewounds for ABG?

    I'm getting my first ABG after owning 30+ electrics and three uprights. I prefer the feel and sound of flats (I'm a P-bass/LaBella guy at heart) and would like to retain some usable unplugged volume on my ABG. (Guild B140-E) Anyone out there tried a lot of different ABG strings?

    Ibanez / flatwounds

    Anybody playing an Ibanez SR bass with flats? I'm looking at maybe getting an Ibanez SR 5005 Prestige and would like to go with flats. Just wondering if anybody had gone this route and what the outcome was.

    Flatwounds on Fretless Microbass?

    Flatwounds that SOUNDS like my 18 year old Groundwounds

    My first bass was a precision bass with a fretless neck, I believe it originally came with flatwounds but I had them changed to grounds on the advice of a friend. I never really thought about the strings much after that and played the bass on and off for almost two decades. More recently I...

    Recommendations for flatwounds in between GHS P Flats and Chromes

    Hey guys, first post here. I'm on a search for some flatwounds for my Jazz that fall somewhere in between GHS Precision Flats and D'addario Chromes. These are the only two sets that I've tried so far, and I found the Chromes a bit too modern and the P Flats a little too vintage, although the GHS...

    Do this sound like flatwounds?

    I really like the tone of the bass in these songs. I'm not detecting any fret or string noise so i'm wondering if it might be flatwounds. All i know is that the bass played is a P/J style bass

    Nickel round-wound strings on rosewood fingerboard

    I am going to convert a bass with a rosewood fingerboard to fretless. Folks say flat-wound strings would suit such a fingerboard better because they won't wear it fast.
