I've tried the 760FS and while the E and A were nice and deep sounding, the D and G stayed quite trebly for at least six months, at which point I took them off.

A thicker tone, mostly for dub.

I have the Little Mark Vintage head and 104HR cab. It's a powerful and sonically versatile setup. You can EQ it to sound clean for fusion jazz à la Marcus Miller or vintagey or kinda SVTesque for reggae or garage psychedelia. Also good for a harsh post punk sound. My holy grail at the moment...

So his estate, or whoever, is actually licensing this?

Thanks. A while ago I tried the 760FS (45-105) and while the E and A were great, the D and G stayed rather trebly for at least six months of use, when I replaced them with the Fender 9050M. Perhaps I should have had more patience.

Thank you all for your responses. Looks like it's confirmed that the 45-105 Roto flats are rather stiff and high tension, definitely higher tension than the 45-105 Dunlop. So, I don't know whether I should go for it. Before the Dunlop, I had Fender 9050M on that Pbass; they were not crazy...

Thanks. I have to say that I'm impressed with the Roto Swing Bass rounds, both the stainless steel and the nickel-plated ones. Crunchy full bodied tone with lots of overtones. So I'm eager to try their flats although I'm not certain I'll like them.

Hi to all. I've tried a number of flats over the years, some I liked more than others, but still haven't found the ones. Currently I have Dunlop flats 45-105 on my flats Pbass (2008 Am. Std. with PV63 pickup). They are alright and seem to be of lowish tension and easy going but sometimes they...

Thanks for the tip! Are Edwards made in Japan?

That's a sure sign! Punk's not dead!

Yes, full of passion and musically well versed. Tight sound. Here's a couple cool live vids.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Would would please ID the pictured bass. It's the bassist of the punk band Deaf Devils who I particularly like presently, for their attitude as well as for the music skills. Thanks! Bellow also a link to their cover of Neat Neat Neat by The Damned.

Fender Original 62 pickup is quite bright and aggressive - good for funk, punk, post-punk, fusion etc. If you pair it with Rotosound Swing Bass rounds it's Simon Gallup and J-J Burnel territory.
