If you like the various flatwound sounds...

This tiresome little groove features a Rogue VB100 (short-scale violin) with LaBella flats. The guitar has a P90 pickup, so overall, the tones are somewhat true to Revolver-era Beatles -- which is what this groove cops.

Only have solid and hollow shorties. Have flats or tapes on every one of them.
Use GHS, La Bella, D'Addario, Guild on them. Closest thing I have to not flats are Chromes on a couple.

Flats on both. The Fender's strings are about 40 years old but I only put them on a few months ago!

They stay on until I get some LaBella gold tapewounds.

ill say it. flats on an upright bass

but really.. precision basses just love flatties. why mess with perfection. hofner style viol bass cant do without em really either. ive tried them on my rickenbackers but it always just seems weird.
