    Has anyone here ever used flats on an active humbucker bass?

    My 4401 Lakland and Ibanez SR530 both with Bartolini mk1's have TI flats. They sound awesome.

    Considering a Lakland...

    I have a Skyline 4401 and this is my second. I sold the first and regretted it. I have a 72 pbass that is retired. I would love to get a Duck Dunn or Bob Glaub pbass. Hope eventually to make that happen. But as everyone states the Skylines play so well and the fit and finish are outstanding.

    Your Signature String

    I finally came into the TI flats world. I have to say they are great strings. I don't find them floppy at all. I like a little looseness for chords and bends. I have them on my Lakland 4401 and Ibanez SR530. Great balance,feel and tone.

    TI Flats...Meh...

    I have them on my Lakland Skyline 4401 and Ibanez SR530 both with Barts MK1 pu's. I play the Ibanez at church thru an old Peavey tx 2x10 4 ohm cab with an SWR 350 (red face) head. I had to turn the bottom down it was so full. But these both are used sets I picked up here. I wouldn't give up...

    (Poll) Flatwounders, how often do you play flats?

    Thanks to the classified ads here, I now have traded in my Chromes for TI flats on both my main basses. They just feel and sound so good. Still have med. scale Chromes on my Hofner copy. I love flats.

    String Confusion...I am an idiot

    I played Boomers many moons ago and they used to have red silk at head stock and plain ball ends. You're welcome good luck.

    Are there any modern-day bands where the bassist uses flatwound strings?

    Bill Kenney-Incubus, Paul McCartney. I agree with Pbass2 there are alot of players using flats in studio and live.
