Flatwounds for 6 string
Sign in to disble this ad
Hello guys and Girls,

I wonder if you people could help me with suggestion on fretless strings for a 6 string Bass...
ATM I am using D'addario Chromes but willing to try other brands/models

higher B gauges appresciated as my bass is 34" and prone to floppy B

Thanks

Rotos have a reputation for higher tension, so maybe give them a shot?

Rotosound does not produce flats in 6 string sets AFAIK...

Another option is to look into buying singles and making a balanced tension set. Talk to knuckle_head bout that. http://www.talkbass.com/forum/member.php?u=25289
