    Favorite P Bass With Flats Recordings?

    I am doing a deep dive on different Flat-wound P Bass tones. I would love to hear some of your favorite recordings of a P bass with flats. Bonus points if you can share the gear/technique to achieve the sound. To get things started here is a more obscure one. It’s definitely not a Jamerson or...

    Has anyone used these strings? Magma Amalgam dual wrap material bronze/steel flatwounds

    I really like this brand. Their groundwounds are very nice and the coated rounds are flexy and durable. These amalgam strings are for electric bass. They also make these for acoustic guitar. I kind of get it for acoustic because maybe they have more output for a magnetic soundhole pickup. But...

    Old Pyramid Flats On A J Bass - Oh Yeah...

    I've tried the Pyramids on a few different P-bass builds and they always drove me a little nuts. Had to really fight to get any snap or sizzle when I wanted it. I think the J bass might be the ticket. Something about those single coils - with a bridge pickup on demand. But also: loads of thump...

    Forget all the talk about which strings are best-- what is the WORST string you have ever played?

    For me it would have to be the Ernie Ball Cobalt Flatwound Strings. Fresh out of the box, they feel like they have something sticky on them, and my fingers move much slower. They sound fine, though.

    Most comfortable bright-sounding strings?

    Hey fellas, in your opinion, what are the most comfortable strings you've played with a bright tone? The best SOUNDING strings I've ever tried would have to be the Rotosound Swing Bass strings, but they are a bit rough on the fingers. In terms of comfort, I would have to go with D'addario Black...

    Has anyone tried the 50-110 dunlop flats?

    I haven't been able to find much information on the 110s specifically how are they in terms of tension and sound?

    Help identifying Flatwound strings…

    Hey, can anyone help me identify these strings? They are the smoothest, silkiest, best sounding flatwounds I have ever played and I can’t figure out what they are. All the forums I’ve checked indicate that they are DR Legends, but they are not. I’ve got a set of DR Legends on another bass and...

    Warm And Smooth Sounding Flats

    I've been playing flats for a year or so but I haven't been able to get the sound I want out of the ones I've used. I've tried Chromes and DR Legends and I dislike them both for different reasons. Chromes are way to bright, I had the same set on for about 8 months and they were still to bright...

    Is it the Amp, the eq, the room, or do I lack technique?

    Hi everyone! Hope y’all doing great! I’m a bit confused right now. I’ve been practicing bass for around 5 months now. I got myself a Squier PJ and a LaneyRB2, 30W. I really dig the bass tone of R&B, but more than that, I really love the bass tone of Silk Sonic, sometimes the tone of the style...
