Praise Report: GHS Precision Flats

[king_biscuit]

I sold that bass a few months ago in order to fund my impending funeral.

Wow Linnin, I hope you meant that rhetorically.

I’ve had the Precision Flats on my fretless Squier Jazz for a couple of weeks now and I’m loving them! As others have said the wrap on the E string wraps round the post but it doesn’t seem to be a problem. View attachment 3711812

Exactly what I have going on too, it doesn't seem to be a problem though.
But you would of thought they have checked the length required to go from bridge to tuners on most standard bass models. It's a p after all, pretty damn normal.

No No. It's real, I assure you. Time is ticking away.

Really sorry to hear that. Time on this planet is short for everyone I guess.

I’m really digging the feel of these flats!

I’ve got a Guild Starfire II on the way that I picked up in the TB classifieds that I may have to install some Precision flats on.

Anyone have experience with a short scale set of these on a hollow body bass?

Just found out that Bernard Edwards had GHS Flats on his Stingray in the early days. Apparently Stingrays came stock with them til mid 78 and he didn't change the stock strings for years.

The original factory strings for Stingrays were what's now known as the Brite Flats, which are Alloy 52 half-rounds (groundwound).

Dammit!

Dammit!

Brite Flats are some cool strings!

Pssst... hey... Don't tell anyone this, but I just sold my Precision Flats so I could order a set of Brite Flats to try on my P bass.

 

[Linnin]

I just sold my Precision Flats

ACK!

 

[michael_t]

ACK!

I know, I know... Call me a rebel, call me a traitor... Or, call me simply stupid.

The funny thing is I've had absolutely no "seller's remorse".

Looking forward to your report on these.

Looking forward to your report on these.

As tempting as it is to go ahead and put the BFs on my P as soon as I receive them, it would probably be best to stick with my regular string change schedule. That means waiting till the end of June.

Nah, go ahead, you maniac !

 

[Pbassmanca]

Did I mention how much I like these strings? I did?! Oh. OK. I still like 'em.

Yep , I'll second that emotion my brother! They just sound better and better!
