I've never been a fan of flatwounds, and was never afraid to say so, though I'd never really given them a chance.
Well, I was setting up my music room today after a week of home renovations and for shits and giggles decided to string my P bass up with flats just so I could say I know what it sounds and feels like. I had a couple sets of flats lying around from the fretless SX basses I've had so I threw a set on.
I must confess - I loved it!! That was the thumpiest most vintage bass tone I've ever heard come from my fingers!! Very cool indeed!! :bow:
Now, I can't see myself using flats all the time as I love the bright zing of rounds, but I'm definitely going to give it a rip at my next rehearsal!! Perhaps a 2nd, matching P is in order?
Me thinks Mrs.J.O.B. is not going to be very receptive of SX #5.
