    Flatwounds on a thunderbird?

    Would flatwounds sound good on an Epiphone Thunderbird Classic IV PRO, has anyone done this before. Thanks for your feedback!

    Did I finally match my favorite flatwounds to my three basses?

    I have been agonizing over which strings to put on my three basses for a few years now, but I think I finally did it. The challenge for me is that I have favorite strings (flatwounds), but they don't match equally well to my basses. Some basses like some strings better. I play classic rock...

    Ernie Ball Custom Gauge Flatwounds

    I just bought my first set of flats. Stuck them on the SX J-Bass knockoff I've been slowly upgrading as a side project. The Ernie Ball Flats are actually really nice! I've played probably 10 hours on them so far, they're still honestly pretty bright and pack a punch, but feel lovely to play and...

    Flatwounds are for Hofners only. Or are they?

    I use a G&L L2500 5 string -- have used roundwounds my entire life. Classic Rock stuff. 10% maybe using a pick, when I want to dig in. Am I nutz to spend money on experimenting with FWs? Can you dig in with FWs? I'm imagining muddy lifeless, London thumping. Where am I wrong?

    Flatwounds for short/medium scale bass, low tension required.

    Hi there, i'm the owner of an old 60s semiacoustic bass, scaled 30" from bridge saddles to zero fret, and i'm looking for a set of flatwounds string fitting its length. low tension is required due to some neck problem the bass has developed with time. The main issue is that the ball-end to...

    Which SS flats are these?

    I was wondering which strings Tyler Joseph of Twenty One Pilots has on his short scale Jaguar bass. It clearly had flatwounds on it when I saw them recently (only flats shine like that). It's hard to tell from the pictures, but they appear to have teal or blue silks. I was thinking possibly...

    Tame Impala Lonerism bass strings

    I purchased a 500/1 CT hofner bass a few months back and have bought some D'Addario ECB81M Chromes Bass flats to try and replicate the slide-sound and tone of 'Lonerism' but I think they lose the muted tone I liked with strings that came with the bass originally. Does anyone know the strings...

    Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Flats/ Big in Japan?

    Help! I'm upgrading my rig

    Here's what I currently play: Fakenbacker 4003 copy (bolt-on) with LaBella flats which I play almost entirely finger style with sorta high action. It works fine. GK mb112 200w combo, which is what I'm upgrading. Here's what I'm looking for: A bass amp that's at least 400w with a 115. As long as...

    Vaseline On Flatwounds

    I watched a video from Scott Devine (Scott's Bass Lessons) where he talked about interviewing session bassist Sean Hurley, and Sean told Scott that he's put vaseline on new flat wounds to make them sound broken-in quickly. I believe he said that he rubs vaseline along the length of the string...

    Flatwounds for high E in fifths tuning

    I've long been a fan of Rotosound flats and I've been looking at what I need to tune in 5ths (CGDA). For the most part, I can get singles in the guages I'd need to get a relatively balanced set (I do like really heavy tension, so the 130 tuned up to C makes sense to me and I've been using the...

    Thoughts on semi-hollow shorties: Guild Starfire, Hagstrom Viking, Hofner Verythin, Fender Coronado

    Hey folks, I'm in the market for a semi-hollow, short scale thump machine. Really liked the tone, effortless scale & lightweight of the Hofner Icon Beatle bass I owned in the past but it definitely felt cheesy build-wise. Quality control also seemed to be sorely lacking on the lesser Hofners...

    Ready to try some different flatwounds on my fretless PB5

    I love my fretless PB5 and I'm pretty happy with the flatwound strings that Carvin supplied. However, the B string is a just a little bit too boomy. I'd like to play the G and F on the B string instead of the E string without having such a big difference in volume. I could even just change the B...

    Labella 1954 flatwounds on Fender 1962 Reissue Precision?

    I have a 1962 AVRI Fender Precision bass. Would the tension of the 1954 Labella flatwound strings bend, twist, WARP, and UTTERLY DESTROY the neck, leaving nothing but a gaping hole in time and space where the bass used to be? Or would it be okay? How about long-term use? This is probably my...

    Which flatwounds should I get?

    Hey guys. I am new here. I need some advice. I have a 1976 Fender Jazz and am considering the LaBella Jamersons? Anyone used this combo? Trying to get the Jamerson sound except with a Jazz bass. I love the bass so I don't want to get rid of it for a p-bass if I don't have to. Any and all...

    More Jamerson Magic...

    Ok so I've known about this track for a while because it was on a playlist of a famous NY DJ from the 70's (David Mancuso of The Loft) and I always liked it and the nifty and fairly spacious bass part, but I had no idea it was James Jamerson. I assumed since it was 70's Motown it was one of the...

    Quick, stupid question on flatwounds.

    I live at the beach. Strings will rust quickly if i leave the basses i have out instead of putting them in gig bags or cases. So here is my question: Do flatwounds rust the same way as roundwounds? thanks, Tom
