Need Thicker Flatound.

Sign in to disble this ad
I play with Rotosound Flatwounds 77s on my 5-String. But recently our band has switched tunings to Drop C. I'd be a good idea to tune my B up to a C, but sadly I need that string lower still. Anyways, problem here is that my C plays like a flopping shlong and I hate it. Right now the thickness of it is 105. So I'm guessing I need something thicker since I hate how floppy it is.

What guage do you think I should go with for my E? The rest are dropped a whole step, a little teeny loose for me but I can live with it. Is there a place I can buy just ONE freakin string instead of a whole set since I'm too poor to afford crap. Or would it just be better to find a thick set of flatwounds for a 4-string? Thanks.

Btw, I'd go with Roundwounds but I do enjoy the feel of the flats and I like the sound of them better with a pick than I do with roundwounds. Yes, I play with a pick, don't shoot me. Haha.
