Flats for my Pbass?

I agree with Thand - TI's best flats for me.

 

third for TI's

 

Another vote for TI's. Great strings, very musical sounding compared to other flats.

 

Sadowsky Black Label Flats... light gauge (.040-.100) are a low tension flat that worked best for me. I tried the TI Jazz flats which, besides being more expensive, seemed too 'whippy' to me. I've since moved up to the .045-.105 medium gauge, but if you want a flat with a light touch they're hard to beat IMHO (of course) YMMV, etc.

 

Another vote for Sadowsky Black Label Flats in light gauge. These are fantastic strings, exactly what you're describing.

 

TI's are my choice.

 

You get them direct from Sadowsky or Bass Strings Online

Another vote for www.bassstringsonline.com. Jason is the best!

 

This! Fantastic service.

 

I'm relatively new to the world of flats, but I like the Labella flats that I have. I recently tried a bass with TIs and I think I prefer the Labellas, though it's tough to know without doing an A/B comparison and having more time in the saddle.

The point though is that I would recommend considering Labella flats.

 

La Bella 760FL is a great set to start with. Awesome on a P bass.

 

TI's here.

 

Ah, I guess I don't notice a huge difference between the D'Addarios roundwounds I had on before and the LaBellas. But I'm not super sensitive to that and I kind of like high tension and thick necks, so I may not be the best source.

 

Fender or Pyramid for me. Ti were too low tension. I do have them on my campfire bass though.

 

TI Jazz Flats for me too. I tried LaBellas. They sounded great, but the tension was too much for me, especially on a P5. TIs are expensive, but one set lasts a very, very long time.

 

Flats on a Precision? Whoever heard of such a thing?
