    This is how an ebony fretless fretboard with roundwound looks like after 10 years

    I had this bass for about 10 years, and it became my main bass about 3 years ago. I don't gig professionally but play, jam and practice regularly. I consider myself definitely not on the "light touch" side of things when playing bass. It's an ebony fretboard, always had round wound strings on...

    String Suggestions for someone who likes Flatwounds but also slaps sometimes (in the same song)

    It says it all in the title this time. I am finding my string preference leans towards flat wounds but sometimes I need the round wound bite, especially for slap on a few songs (and sometimes in the same song as a flat wound tone). I tried a search hear and on google but did not get any hits...

    DGCF tuning and string gauge on a 34" scale bass

    Hi everyone! I recently changed my tuning from EADG to DGCF on my Yamaha BB1200s (34¨scale). The problem is that I´m using light gauge strings (40-100 DR Hi Beams (round wounds)), and now my bass lacks ¨punch¨. I would like to have the loose feel of the down-tuned light gauge strings to some...

    I've been a dedicated flats user for a couple of years, but I recently got a Tagima J Bass.

I replaced the Dunlops with GHS Precision Flats 45-105, and...

    Roundwound Recommendation for Mustang Bass

    I just got a Squier Vintage Modified Mustang Bass. It's string-through-body so it needs medium-gauge strings (or DR shorts). It came with a set of very narrow and zingy D'Addario round wounds. My other short-scale bass has GHS flats on it and I love them. The P-Bass I use has D'Addario...

    Round wound players what gauge and why?

    I'm looking for opinions about what made you settle on the string gauge you're currently using. I've been strictly using light gauge, current favorite are the new GHS Balanced Nickels on my two Fender Jazz basses, one a 2016 Elite 4 and a 2003 MIM 4 with DiMarzio Model J's. Thanks for your input!

    round wound E string and flat wound rest

    I love the sound and feel of flat wounds, but i kinda just want to get a bit more pop and treble out of my lower notes. Has anyone tried just using a round wound E string, or just hybriding the two types?
