Flats with active bass

[fenderlover77]

So I'm wondering if anyone has flats on their active bass and if so, which brand? How does it sound?

I was thinking of installing an Aguilar preamp in my jazz and using labella flats.

Cheers!

I have Sadowsky Flats on one of my active (Sadowsky pre) basses. AWESOMENESS!

I put Sadowsky flats on my Stingray once, they sounded pretty sweet.

Thanks for the replies! Gives me confidence to follow through with the project.

They sound great on my Alien Audio Lunar.

I have TI Jazz flats on my Lakland Skyline Jerry Scheff 5, my Squire VM Jazz fretless with a J-Retro pre, and though it's not active, my Lakland Skyline DPLE II (with a Darkstar). I love the low tension feel and the sound of TI Jazz Flats.

I love ti flats too but just couldn't get used to the tension. I was thinking labella 760fl because I have an all maple vm squier jazz.

I'm excited about the project considering the positive feedback here. Just have to get the cash together, hopefully in the next couple months.

D'Addario Chromes on a fretless EBMM Stingray HH, does the job nicely

D'Addario Chrome flats on my active Yamaha 1200S sound incredible! With proper on-board EQ can get round sounds with the ease and comfort of playing the flats. Or a Motown-like thump if desired.

I use Fender flats on my Pedulla Thunder bass. Love 'em!!
Very thumpy, no fret rattle and last a long time. Perfect tension.

I ran Chromes on my P Lyte with EMG PJ's for a couple years. Went back to rounds late last year but I loved the flats, too.
