    Rounds which sound like flats

    Hi Everyone I've been experimenting lately (last couple of years!) with some Fender Flats on my main Jazz Bass and I'm loving the tone for most things. The problem is, I'm still having trouble with stickiness - normally things are ok, but last night we played an outdoor gig and, when the sun...

    Pbass flats and rounds.

    Please indulge some rambling... So I decided that I "needed" a pbass with flats and one with rounds. The flat wound P is a fender american original 60s with a nice rosewood board wearing a set of TI Jazz Flats. Love it. Sounds great for everything except slap. The round wound P is a mid 80s...

    Two jazz basses, two different sounds

    Hi folks Two of my favourite jazz bass sounds: Paul Moore (Van Morrison) Mark Griffiths (Everly Brothers Reunion) First one sounds like rounds to me, the second like flats. Does anyone have any info/thoughts/opinions on what these guys use/were using?

    Roundwounds for my jazz

    Hi everyone I know this may have been discussed quite a lot, but since we're in lockdown mode I'd like to take the opportunity of your advice.... After many years of using nickel rounds (Picato, then for the last 10 years XLs) I decided to try out a seet of flats, namely Fender 9050Ls. I find...

    I’m going to stretch my morning jogs out an extra couple of miles because my bathroom scale told me to. My playlist needs some fresh meat to keep my mind off the laborious task ahead. I’m on a P Bass with rounds kick, and I’m looking for some lesser-known tracks. Any genre, pick, fingers...

    Got my first set of flats, ever, today, but first a little background on what I have been using. I started learning to play bass around age 11, way back in 1977. All I have ever used on a regular basis has been Ernie Ball Slinky (nickel wound) sets with a set of GHS Boomers thrown in there a...

    Just what I thought: Rounds versus Flats on Fretless

    This guy is far better than me, and he confirms what I thought. Playing finger style, flats and rounds sound nearly the same on fretless. Rounds, however, do sound far better slapped on fretless than flats.

    What are your opinions on Rotosound flats and Rotosound nickel rounds?

    I'm currently trying a set of the 66 Stainless Steel Rounds and I love them. I have them on my PJ bass and they help me get the low growly tone that I was striving for with that bass. The tension is great too, but they're definitely rough on my fingers. Other than that, I love them so far. I was...

    I want a set of flats that have slightly less tension than Chromes, and a set of SS rounds with slightly less tension than Rotosound ss rounds. I like strings that are a little bit more tense than average, but not crazy tense like Roto flats

    Thomastik Infeld Jazz Rounds - Jazz Bass

    So my Jazz Bass is now wearing TI Jazz Rounds. Wow. Excellent sounding strings, and I feel like they play faster than the original Fender strings — most likely due to the light tension.

    Difference in playability between medium gauge rounds and heavy gauge flats?

    So I've exclusively used medium gauge rounds on my P bass, but I'm considering a jump onto the flats bandwagon. Unfortunately, my local GC only stocks basses with rounds, making "just trying one out in the store" a bit of a rigmarole to say the least. As far as the two flats I'd consider...

    Just a quick review of my long-delayed switch from rounds to flats. I have used Dean Markley Blue Steels since they first came out.
