Hiya,
Here's my issue, I have a late 80's G&L SB-2 (Leo signature on the headstock, the kind of longer one) that I would love to put flats on however, my favorite flats, Chromes, won't work. The G is a little too short. Uncut the string will only wrap about 1-1/3 turns around the peg and that combined with the silk wrapping, it just slips off. (I put unwrapped roundwounds on there and those have 1-1/5 turns but don't slip)
So, I'm looking for some suggestions for flats that will:
A: Fit the bass properly and not slip
and
B: not be duller than Chromes
