Not my place to demand it... but I, for one, do not appreciate anyone bringing politics... ANY politics... in this place.

Agreed. Keep that nonsense on Facebook where it doesn't belong either.

I can get a flat-like tone by adjusting EQ on the bass or amp if I need it. IME, you can't get a round wound sound from flats by using EQ.

Sure you can. Everyone that goes on and on about these strings or those strings and my sound versus that sound... give me a break, with EQ's and pedals we can make most bass and string combos sound like what we want.

I love the tone of my flats and more importantly, I love the feel of chrome flats on my fingers. Second favorite, tapewounds.

What I think is important is that people find what works for them and what they like. If you can do that it makes life better.

While this confusion gets sorted head over to the 'Amps and Cabs' section of the forum and have a friendly chuckle at my bass cabinet: Crimes Against Cabs - Rehab Help Request

It's a mess but it's mine and I love it, so there.

I am using an Android phone.....

I always us an iPhone to post here. I've never used a computer. 100% of ThunderFox posts are from an iPhone. Post on the go. Never had a problem.

Also, one of my Thunderbird's is deflated, because it's tuning is flat, ha ha . Jokes...

Put some new Ernie Ball 50-105 strings on it, so I'm wearing them in throughout the next couple of weeks, don't like the new string twang, like them to be worn in a bit.

I have several different sets of flats on my basses, the fret noise and clank took away from the tone I wanted, granted some flats didn’t jive with my brain either. It’s all about finding what you dig and getting after it.

Agreed, tone aside though, I really don't like the tactile feel of flats at all. I tried some Thomastik Infelds some years back on my '89, never again for me. But again, to each their own.
