I really love the look that red or black silk wrappings have on my bass.
Does anyone know who makes quality flatwounds with red or black silk?
Thanks |

Thanks | Bake any strings in an oven at 400 degrees F for 1/2 hour. Seriously.

Seriously.

Carvin.com has them for much cheaper but this gives a better description. I loved them on my fretless. |
