Status 5 - Flatwounds

[KrispyJones]

hi guys

the status shark 5 string is 12 years old and i love it.
should i get the daddario chromes or use the FENDER LM and a roundwound B string

is this a common thing to use a "normal" B with a flatwoundset ?

thanks for your help guys

please help me...... cause i do have fender tapewounds with a roto b on and it sounds cool....

......is it common to use a normal b with a flatwound e a d g set ?

I'll bite - Why do you want to use a roundwound B, regardless of whether it is common or not?

[KrispyJones]

i only do have a 4 string fender LM set here, and a fender tapewound 4 string set !

..... it also sounds not bad (tapewounds and roundswound B).....

so i wanted to know if i should put the flatwound on or wait and save money.....

hm..... if you have 2 basses .... a fender jazz with flats and "oldschool" bartolini pick up.... should i took the same set up for the 5 string or go and get anoter set with for example elixier for a diffrent sound !?`greets chris

i tried the chromes and have to say im very pleased with the sound and especially the b string. good set, nice sound and better "feel" for the fingers (less stiff for ex.) than my fenders L on the jazzbass
