After having a couple of days with the red sled, I ordered the Labella flats, when they come in I'll bring the bass to my local Luthier, and have them set it up proper. I have no amp, as this was bought purely as a personal enjoyment piece. I noticed the noise of the round wounds, and the floppy E and decided to go flat as it should tame the twang.
Question, is filing sprouted frets part of a normal "set up"?
