I like both flats and round wound for different reasons depending on what I’m doing. The best thing would be to have two P Basses one with flats and one with round wound strings |

I've tried Thom flats, Labellas, D'Addario XL, SS Lo Riders, SS Hi Beams and probably a few others over the years. The Boomers for rounds/ Fender for flats formula really brings out the sound qualities that I prefer in a P with great feel and longevity. |

I really like the way the flats slapped on the P. But I really need a flat with enough clarity to make it in our church that has a bit of that natural reverb. I am starting to think flats are better on a J because you can get more note.
