One with flats and one with rounds ?

[LadyLoveStingRay5]

Ok , who here really does this?

Every new P bass I say I will.

[ics1974]

I have rounds on my Retro 70 Stingray and flats on my Stingray Classic 5.
Also have rounds on my SR5 H and flats on my SR5 HH
My Fender PJ has rounds

 

[MYLOWFREQ]

I got about 24 basses, and they, all have rounds on them.

I'm flats only on fretless, rounds only on frets.

 

[Sam Evans]

I'm flats only on fretless, rounds only on frets.

That's where I am right now too.

 

[mikeswals]

Nope. I tried to keep each of my duplicate basses strung with flats, but realized I wasn't reaching for them at all.
Out of my whole bass collection, I only have 1 bass with flats and its one I rarely use.

With p basses, it must be this way.

Same here. I'm a rounds guy and I thought having a P with rounds and a P with flats would be a good thing. My P with flats does sound great but I rarely use it.

 

[Lance Bunyon]

I used to have a 5 string with flats on BEA and rounds on DG.
What do I win?

 

[SuperTheBass]

Flats were fun for like a month

 

[C Stone]

GUILTY…

 

[Killing Floor]

I have basses that only get rounds. That’s what I like for MusicMan. I have basses with flats and I think just one that has rounds but may go to flats. I like both kinds.

 

[Discount Bassy]

Rounds for frets and fretless. No duplicate bass configurations.

 

[ItsmeSantiago]

If I played like a crazy person still, I’d have a round and a flat P and J. Instead I go round P flat J.

 

[2thAche]

Will Lee does with identical NYC Sadowskys

 

[rojo412]

I would have called this practice insanity, before realizing how much I'd want it that way if I were a P bass player. Despite many attempts to make one stick to me over the years, one of my more recent ones sounded so damn good in both configurations. That was the first time that ever happened.

But yeah, only on a P bass.
All of my other basses are rounds because that's just more "me" for sound and feel. The P bass thing would be me trying to be someone with a P.

 

[BigJohnAZ]

I've got DR High Beams on my Ricky and Chromes on my PJ.

 

[ariwax]

Flats on Ps and hollowbodies. Rounds on Js and Rays. I don’t make the rules.

 

[salmon256]

My jazz has flats
And my P has rounds.

I'm planning on trading my P for either a Rascall or another Jazz.

Always gonna though do one rounds and flats
