    Dunlop Flatwounds

    Anybody here have any experience with these? I have tried LA Bella low tension flats and chromes, so I was wondering how these would compare. I will be using it on a P Bass (no tort).

    Best flatwounds for pickstyle classic rock on P-Bass

    I currently have some cheap flats on my Squier P-Bass, but since I'm gonna soon get an used American Standard P, and I'm thinking about forming a band with some friends, I started thinking about what strings I should use. I want something like the Roger Waters tone, something that can still...

    Fender 9050 Flatwounds

    For years, I have been using D'addario Chromes and have really enjoyed. For whatever reason I decided to try some Fender 9050's. 9050's are stainless steel flat wounds with green silks. I have to say I REALLY like the 9050's. I'm not sure I've seen much love for them on TB, but I have to say for...

    Taperwound Flatwounds STB recommendations?

    Specifically I have an AmStd Fender P5 and I'd like a set of flats (with taperwound B and E) to string through body. Sadowsky seems to have a great offering that I'd like- but not for STB. What are any other options? Thanks.

    Break-In Period for Fender 9050 Flats?

    I put these on a Peavey Fury a couple of weeks back, so far they are still super bright and metallic sounding, any idea how many hours of play before the metallic clank goes away? Is this unique to stainless flats as compared with nickel flats (Chromes) or a quirk of the Fender strings?

    flatwounds on a P with tone open

    Does anybody run their Pbass strung with flats with tone open? All day I hear about how people have their tone all the way down or close to it, but I love the mellow focused tone you get from the open pot. So am I in the minority here? And what settings are you guys using?

    Dead Note: Open A String

    Hey dudes, I have my Lakland DJ4 strung with some LaBella flats. I had a setup done on it a while back with the new strings and every time I play the open A string there is a rattle at the bridge and the note sounds kind of dead. None of the other strings are this way though. Also, all the rest...

    Why is the Jazz/flats combo not as trendy?

    Pyramid Gold Flatwounds

    I could use all the experience you care to share about these strings. 40/55/75/105 Are they balanced tension? How do they sound new? Break in time fast or slow? Smooth or rough? ETC.
