Suggestions on which bass to try flatwounds on??

[RiGarcia1983]

Hi, strings are expensive as we all know. I've tried a god chunk of them undet the $30 mark all roundwounds .

I play a fender deluxe active j with a badass2 bridge and heavy ghs strings. I just recently bought a dinged, passive epi goth thunder bird for $100 and it has some cheapo medium set.of strings on.

Which bass would I have the most desirable sound? I guess I want tho aim for two totally different extremes with tone.

Interesting there were a few replies earlier today. Now they're gone. If I search for my earlier reply, the original thread with responses pops up. They don't show up when just in the general section.

EDiT, My reply from before:

If you like the current ones on the Jazz, then give a set of flats a run on the Tbird first and see what they sound like.

I have Fender Tapewounds on my Squire P, and Thomastik flats on my Ibby fiver. I really love the way the flats sound, especially now that I've got them on the Ibanez. I was hesitant at first, since they run about $70 or so a set and I wasn't playing it as much, but they really changed the feel of the bass. I pick it up a bit more now.
