ive had a set of flats on for a couple of weeks and they keep dropping out of tune. last time i checked they had dropped a whole step out of tune but i had to leave the bass in my car for a couple hours i dont think its the tuners because they were not slipping on the rounds i had on there before. what should i do
All strings take some time to stop stretching after they are new. Also, if these flats have much higher tension than the previous rounds, they may be bowing the neck, so check for that. Also check to see you don't have too many winds around the tuning peg.

ive been watching the neck so far its good but ill see if it has any bow to it
thats pretty weird. i wind my flats all the way around the tunning peg, i dont cut them to short at all. im actually suprised how well flats hold tunning once they are broken in.
Can you really have too many winds around the tuning post? The more winds the better the string is held down in the nut. Is this noit correct The only string I cut off is my E the rest I just wind and it sounds fine with no slipping and no buzz.
