Flat wound strings

[nigel taylor]

I want to fit flat wound strings to my Rickenbacker 4005xc. What would you recommend

hi Nigel!

So long as you're not stringing through the body, any that will fit the scale length should be fine - my preference is for Dunlop flats, but I've also really enjoyed Labella, Bass Centre Elites and Tomastik. I've yet to try the Dogal strings but I hear really good things

Not sure if they still make them but I used Rickenbacker strings on the 4001 I had.

Rickenbacker confirmed they do not fit flat wound. Thanks for the reply
