Yup, I just didn't think photos of those would be required - plenty of 'em, even.
Also, head's up, we're putting together a run of hoodies - PM for details.
It's always hoodie time in Philadelphia...
So far, I have been able to resist.
Now, I'm not so sure...
OK, so, the hoodie thing will be for reals, putting together an order now, as a matter of fact. I can't really quote pricing here, but it will be "reasonable", and any color you want as long as it's black. Doing pullovers (no zipper) only for now. Anyone that wants to get one, PM me for details and to let me know size before we order (very soon...).

Best of all ........ They play like Roscoes
Tried EB Cobalt flats on the fretless, I think they're keepers

I have tried Labella Low Tension Flats and right now I have Labella Tape Wound on it. Since I am a DR String dealer now, I though about ordering some Legend Flatwounds to try. I will have to look into the EB Cobalt Flats.
Don't think I could ever move away from rounds on the fretless (D'Addario Nickel Rounds just now) but I just put Nylon Tapes on the fretted and I'm liking that a lot. For when I'm playing the fretted, which is only occasionally, with the blues group. Love the roundwound Mwah...
If'n you want you a hoodie - I need a PM from you TODAY to get the order in. My plan is to put that order in right after lunch time here on the east coast (say 2pm at the latest). Anything after that point will have to go on the next order.
That's what I thought as well, but the EB Cobalt Flats (to me) have the sound of round wound strings but the feel of flats.
+1
The EB Cobalt Flats really sound like the nickel Daddario XL strings and feel much smoother. Much easier on the fingerboard IMO (especially with a fingerboard with a polyester finish).
I was shocked at the growl and mwah that they have!

So there I was, poised to order a set from BassStringsOnline, but there don't seem to be 6-string sets. Or singles...

What is the tension like on the Cobalts? Has anybody here tried the TI Jazz Rounds on a Roscoe?

Thank goodness, our temps are going to drop off to the mid 90's the next few days. If we get into the 80 degree temps people around here think they are going to freeze to death.......
But really, good news. My wife wants the hoodie.

Yes!!! Time for another road trip to Roscoe! Perhaps Tuesday or Thursday.

Seemed curious so I checked into it. Found out they don't offer singles or a single high C.
BassStringsOnline says They will soon.
