rounds

Would you guys be interested in a simple flats V. rounds shootout? For those who don't know, a good while ago I went to China, beforehand I got a set of D'addario XL Nickle-steel roundwounds, and forgot about them. When I got back, I got a set of Chromes, both to put on my 4-string squier...

If money was no object would you put new roundwound strings on for every gig you play? I used to think this way because I was totally into Geddy/Chris Squire/Mike Rutherford, etc. but now I wouldn't do that. I like the way strings sound after they get broken in.

I bought a few sets when I saw they were on clearance. I haven't looked to see if they were available online, but at my local store they had quite a few sets left. They are lower tension than some others, but still a good deal.

Well, it is only the third bass string, in over 50 years of playing, that has broken on me. Fortunately, it was at a rehearsal. I have to say though, this was after they have been on the bass, my trusty '65 Jazz, for most of the last 7 years! Every now and again I would take them off and put on...

So I've been getting into rounds again and am thinking of maybe stringing another bass up with a set. It seems that anytime I hear a sound I like it ends up being somebody using rounds and they are usually Rotosound. One of my favorite bassist Darryl Jenifer uses them and recently I've been...

So I am getting my first pbass in the mail next week (early 90s MIM), and I need to get some strings for it. I would want to get some roundwounds since I like the idea of a piano-like sound, but I don't like the way they feel and I don't want to wear the frets/fretboard as much as they seem to...

The current set of D'Addario XL I have on is now on its last legs and I need suggestions on a similar replacement. The XL sounded good (not great) when I put them on, but the lifetime was not impressive, and they are not dying gracefully. I look for a string with similar tension (not less)...

Hey all. Still sealed set of D'Addario ENR71-5 Half Rounds. Long Scale, 45-130. Will be shipped via USPS PRIORITY Flat Rate and will be insured. Was Asking $20 Shipped, NOW ASKING $15 SHIPPED! Hit me up with any Questions! Thanks All!

I typically play my Squier VM Jazz V, which I currently have strung with Regular Slinkies. These things are rough on my fingers (plucking hand)! Admittedly, I don't play a ton. I serve on the worship team at church once a month, and beyond the week that I'm on, family obligations currently...

as the title asks, is there a noticeable difference in string tension between rounds and flats. My Jazz Bass has its original round wounds and I am contemplating my next set. Great resources in this section of the forun, by the way. Thanks.

Can't use these due to my nickel allergy. $19 shipped USA 45-100 long scale.

This is just curiosity on my end. Do you play flats exclusively, or maybe do you play rounds more than flats for whatever reason (a requirement for a band for example), but you are a flatwounder at heart?
