Looking for some kind of fairly light guage flat-wound strings for six string fretless. The guy at the music store sold me D'Addario normal wound bass strings, but when I slide up or down the neck, I get a screech from my fingers sliding on the surface wires of the strings. I really need something more flat wound. Any suggestions? My music store guy is clueless.
I have been surfing the net this morning looking for the same thing. So far all I have found is th Tomastik Infield JF 346 set. They are calling these Regular Scale. Does anyone know if these will fit a 35" scale bass?

T-I also makes an extra long set, I believe called the JF366. One or the other ought to fit your bass. It depends in part on the bridge design--that is, how much string length there is behind the saddles.

Man I would LOVE to put those on my 6er. I have those on a Fretless 5 and a fretted 4.. I get great tone from them and love the feel. The smallest string they make is .040" (according to thier web site this am) Can these be tuned up to C?

SIT Powerflats are pretty dark & thumpy... my favorite flat type string
D'Addario Half-Rounds are also nickel groundwounds but looser and more expressive... also real nice
best strings for 6 string fretless?
