Cliff Williams which Flatwounds??

[Thom Fioriglio]

Hey all, can anyone tell me which flat wound Cliff Williams uses? All I could find was D'Addario. Also, does anyone know what flatwounds come on his Stingray signature bass? I would think they would be Ernie Ball flats but can't find any info.

I have an active Lakland 44-94 and want to try flats on it, so just curious what Cliff uses.

Thanks!

Cliff Williams has always used D'Addario Chromes Flats, and XL Nickels for rounds in the past.

Interesting to hear Cliff Williams cite McCartney and Jamerson as influences.

They're strung with Ernie Ball 50w-70w-85w-105w (Group II Flatwound #2804)
