I'm thinking of putting some flats on my jazz bass to try something new. I'd use them in my experimental rock band. I'd be playing fingerstyle, with a pick, and very mild/light slapping.
Right now I use light guage DR Hi-beams (45-90)...so the tension on the strings is pretty mild. I've also heard that flatwounds feel very stiff in comparison to rounds.
What flats could I buy for a similar tension to my current set of rounds?
PS: Im looking for a tone with very pronounced low-mids and tight bass.
you are asking for TI jazz flats. for sure. great midrange growl, punchy and everything. awesome! i compare their tension to a 40-100 fatbeam/hibeam set.
in theory, d'addario chromes in 40-95 should be similar in tension.
