Sign in to disble this ad
I searched around and didnt find a club for this.
This is for everybody that plays rounds with their fretless, and flats with there fretted haha. I dont know, ive tried flats with the fretless but i just dont like the sound as much as rounds. I also have tried rounds with the fretted, but i just like the flats more.
I know this is kind of ass backwards...hence the title of the club haha. Ill post pics tomorrow.

There's really nothing backward about flats on a fretted bass. For decades, that's what they came with (except maybe Ricks). |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Lakeland, FL | | | I just got a nice Carvin fretless from another TBer. It arrived with flats on it. For me, the flats just seem to kill the zing, sustain and mwah. I replaced them with DR High Beams and would never go back.
I also have Labella Deep Talkin flats on my old Aria "Primary Bass". It's may all time favorite P bass that I spend a lot of time working on. It has a Fralin pickup and sounds amazing with the flats. I've tried flats on other basses including my favorite Jazz bass but never liked them enough to keep them on. |

I have rounds on my Lakland 4-94 fretted (DR Hi Beams), the 4-94 fretless (DR Sunbeams), the Lakland Skyline 55-01 (DR Hi Beams w/non-tapered 0.130 B). I have flats on my Fender Vintage Series '62 Precision, the Sting ('though it's probably going back to rounds soon), and the home-made fretless P/J.
