im thinking of putting flats on my marcus miller 4 string... i love it but sometimes the bass is just to bright just wondering if anyone has tried flats on one or any suggestions which flatwound strings i should put on it..

Thomastik Infeld Jazz Flats.

As for the MM, I have no clue.

I have a '97 deluxe active Jazz that I bought off e-bay a couple years ago. It was also "too bright"
I just put on a set of D'Addario Chromes (45-100) flats and now it sounds like a bas should, great thump!

+1 on the Chromes.

When i first got my Fender Classic 60 Jazz, i try all sorts of strings like DR, Ernie Ball stainless steel or Nickel. But the bass still very bright.

Now i use chromes and it make the bass sound like a bass.

Very deep and warm low end and very clear high as well.
