| Lighter gauge flatwounds for a 5?
Sign in to disble this ad
Hi gang, I have had the same strings on my Musicman fretless 5-er for almost 4 years now. I think it is about time to move over to a new set. I am kind of bored/annoyed with the tone since I started using a flatter setting on my amp. I feel that flatwounds may sound better. However it came from the store with a very light set of roundwounds. I have gotten used to these strings and now tune to C instead of B on this bass.
Now I have been looking around for some similar gauge flats but they all seem to be even heavier than comparable roundwounds. Anyone else here playing a five not tuned to B or E?
Been thinking about trying Ernie Balls or DR's. Not so sure abot other brands.
