    TI Jazz Flats on a 5-string Active Jazz Bass

    I put the TI flatwounds on my Carvin custom 5 string with J99 p/u's and will never use anything else. I then put a set on my other Carvin custom with Alnico p/u and it sounded like mud. Changed that one to roundwounds. If they ever quit making TI flats i'll go back to GHS flats.

Actually, thats what made me go with it instead of an older used Pro 3 head for another $100 that I know...

    NAD: Mesa Boogie Bass 400+ score!

    Love the 400+. I've had mine close to 8 years. Retubed several times and no real problem. Just get matching pairs and tell them it's for a Mesa 400+. Mine is getting heavier each year....may be going soon.
