here's a couple of clip of my SR4 with a set of vintage Fender flats 50-105 (vintage means that they where in the shop for the last 10 years or so... )
(first time I put flats on my bass)

Sr4 eq flat into Sansamp BDDI (fat tube mode) into soundboard.
I didn't know what to play this time so I'm just playing the very first things that came into my mind on the drum clips.

what can I say...I love my SR4 with flats, maybe I'm going to switch to a 45-105 instead of the 50-105 cause the G is really too big...

anyway, hope you enjoy (though I'm not a great player)

Sounds great, man.

I've been telling people about flats on Stingrays for years, and mostly I get either blank looks or "But I won't sound like Flea."

Thanks for taking the time to put those up.

Im extremely interested in hearing the reply on this. Not to take if off topic but thats a huge debate as to whether the fretboard wood has any affect on tone. I believe it does, many luthiers disagree with me.

My main axe going on 11 years is an SR4 w/ rosewood! So, the difference between a brunette or blonde is huge to my ears. I only recently bought maple necked basses to expand my tonal pallet. My first one was a maple necked SR5 HH, which I happen to keep flats on! I love the flats on my fretted stingrays, maple or rosewood, since I'm not one to slap that often.

I tried flats for about 6 months on my 30th anniversary fretless, and they had a really nice bottomy thump to them. But I was really wanting a little more definition and mwaah, so I went back to rounds on that one.

Oh, and that is a lovely black sparkle! My favorite flats are the EBMM and the chromes. They start out a little brighter than other brands, but they do mellow nicely, and have a "no-so-sticky" feel, imo.

I just wanted to thank you for putting posting normal fingerstyle sound clips.

So many times, I just want to hear a bass with simple straight forward playing.

Please don't take "simple" the wrong way. It just seems everytime I hear a sound clip of a bass, it is a slap clip.

Your playing and tone sound great.

I use Lakland Joe Osborn flats on my Fender 57' P. I really dig them. Nice growl, excellent feel, and not too tight.
