flatwounds cutting through???

[fenderbluesdude]

i have herd that flatwounds dont put out enough output compared to roundwounds, what flatwound strings put out alot of output???

TI Jazz Flats.

I second that. I have never had a problem cutting thru with Ti flats. The low string tension is also easy on the fingers. Just don't take em off and put em back on. That E string can get pretty flabby if you do that.

I spent the better part of an afternoon, trying flats, rounds and grounds on my Epi Jack bass. The winner................TI Jazz Flats! it seemed that my volume increased by 20-30%. Probably due to the fuller sound of the flats.

I have TI Flats on 2 of my Mike Lulls and just love these strings. They have good strong output, super feel and tone .... just all-around super strings

A vote for TI's again... They cut and thump through any mix. Some of the best strings on the planet, IMO.

Put TIs on about two weeks ago and I friggin' love them. I can hardly put my bass down. They sound and feel soooo good. Complete epiphany for me. I ain't ever going back to rounds.

I just put TI's on my bass too. havn't tried them in a live situation yet but so far i'm very happy with them.

That's funny, because I've always had the opposite experience, when ever I use RWs I always have to turn my amp up and have to use a lot of EQ [normally I set my amp near flat]. I find ITs to be nice but a little on the twangy side and under powered.

Treena! where are you?

Right here! Sorry,I had a couple of gigs over the weekend!

If your bass is setup properly, you will have no problems getting even, high gain from TI Jazz Flats!

Don't let anyone fool you into thinking other wise!

If you have any doubts, listen to some of my recordings, I use TI's on 98% of my basses.

I currently have the TI flats on my 6 string fretless, and they do sound excellent. My only complaint is that the B string isn't tapered, and I need a tapered B string for this particular bass. Another brand that I've recently been loving is LaBella (and they have a tapered B). Check their flats out as well (plus they're cheaper than the TIs).

While not wanting anyone to think I am discouraging TI flats. I use Fender 9050's and get through plenty good. I do gotta try some of those TI's

I think Thomastik-Infeld owes Talkbass something. I've never heard of this brand before I joined this forum. I'm sure a lot of their business is attributed to the positive word-of-mouth generated on this forum.

I prefer to think of it as the power of talk bass that let's so many of us find out what the good stuff is. I figure I owe talk bass something.

You know, they also make great upright strings.

Well I really like LaBella Tapewounds. They ring and sing on my LB100. It almost sounds like a fretless with these strings. The seem to have a strong, even output across the range. Great strings and really cheap from Carvin.

LaBella Deep Talkin' Bass roundwounds sing on my Dean fretless.

There's a volume nob on the amp you know. Use it.
