Flatwounds on an acoustic

[dominic]

would it be possible to fit short scale flatwound strings to an acoustic bass or would there be any problems with the bridge etc.

Flats are very common on ABGs - you may want to do a search on "ABG string", there's been a lot of past discussion you may find helpful.

Good luck!

I'm told not to use non-bronzed strings on my EAB, and it seems no one makes flatwound bronzed strings. Do you get adequate acoustic volume playing non-bronzed flatwounds?
