I just bought a Lakland Bob Glaub Skyline, and at Dan's suggestion, put flatwounds on it. Perfect Motown tone!

What Lakland do you have? I've toyed with putting some flats on one of my 494s just for a different voice.

I have a Skyline DJ5 that wears D'Addario flats. It sounded great with nickel rounds, but the tone I get with flats is phenomenal. Loads of thump, smooth deep sounding, with plenty of clank when needed.

Thats what i like about flats too. Massive deep tone and lots of thump coming out. Sometimes i have to cut bass due to too mch low end coming out lol

C'mon - There's no such thing as too much low end!

Seriously though, I have that same issue with my old Jap Squier P bass that wears flats. It gets way too boomy at times - and a little uncontrollable without compression which I generally dislike using.

I can't see myself going back to rounds on my DJ - with flats it is perfect for soul and R&B which is my main gig.

I've used flats on MOST of my Lakies: 44-01, 55-01, JO4, and I just got a Glaub yesterday that I'll re-string today with a set.... but when my brand new 44-02 gets here today, well... we will have to see about that one!!
