Flatwounds

[fleakeepr666]

I just defretted my old Samick, and now I need a good set of flatwounds. Any recommendations? Like companies or types. Thanks.

I highly suggest tapewounds

Rotosound Steve Harris Signature Flatwounds. Very good flats, a little heavier than the average flat, so they're not great for weaklings, but if you can put up with playing on them, the tone and response is brilliant. It's a great tone, they have "warmth" for plenty of mwah, but they also have a great "thud" about them, which is good for adding an almost upright tone to your fretless.

I like Fender tapewounds....if you want something really thunky, and GHS Precision Flatwounds.

I personally like LaBella Flats, nothing to compare to but I liked them when I was using them on my bass.

Listen to the old ****s.

TI Jazz Flats are the way to go.

Was having a look at the rotosound page (potentially also getting a fretless) and the Tru Bass 88 sounds pretty good (obviously bass and amp dependant)

Edit: just realised that the guage of the Rotosound Tru Bass 88 starts at guage 0.65 and just heads on upwards.

So the consensus is TI Jazz Flats?

TI Jazz Flats are a total different kind of flats though. Some love them and some hate them.

Name one person who hates them. :lol:

Fender or Rotosound flats usually do me well.

I hate them, they killed my mother.
