I BET you could be open to changing your opinion. I felt the same, and put half rounds on my Fury, and I instantly got the Jamerson tone. OK, half rounds are half measures, but it's a start.

Well now, half-rounds are a horse of a different mother...I love GHS Pressurewounds! But I have never tried them on a Palaedium

 

[berklee46]

Agreed.
Came that way. Haven’t gotten around to it. Probably change the strings altogether. Any recommendations other than flats? And yes, they do bother me too.

DR Nickel Lo Riders sound and feel great on my Palaediums (Palaedia?)

I was a staunch anti-flatter until i got my 1st P bass. Well, you know how the rest of the story goes.

Seems like I should have just asked this here, but I'm trying to decide what to do with my two USA Foundations.

A Tale of Two Foundations

TL;DR is that I have 2 1992 USA Foundations that each have issues. I can make 1 functional bass out of them, or put work into making 2 functional basses. And I would probably end up donating/selling them.

I do like flats and tapes on my hollow and semi-hollow basses, but not so much on a bass like this, though I do have flats on my Gibson SG

Not sure if that is the official name of the color.

I only know of Palaediums in transparent amber, red and violet.

Congrats on your purchase

In the 80s, when I started bassin' around, I was a round wound only guy. This was until I noticed that the Rotosound Swing bass strings I used on my only bass were really starting to dig into the frets. I then switched up to the Solo bass pressure wounds and significantly slowed the process.
With time, I acquired more basses and spread the wear and tear around. Went back to various round wounds on most of them. However, there comes a time you just gotta have a P bass with flats for 'that' sound. Did it, loved it. Then got a Foundation for my 'J with flats' bass.
If you keep the flats fresh, they are quite bright and zingy, however, I'm not Steve Harris and keep the flats on my basses old and thumpy. The exception is the flats on my fretless, I keep them new and 'mwah' friendly. I do have a set of ground wounds that I may install on a bass. They do have a cool feel.

So would you say it is violet? It certainly isn’t red or amber.
And Thanks!

How about the GHS Pressurewounds?
I'm loving them on my Patriot.

How about the GHS Pressurewounds?

Sold my Patriot just the other week there. Ancient set of flats on it , blue silk at the tuners/ red silk at the ballends.

Any idea what they were ?
