hey guys, I have been playing bass for about 15 years now, for most of that time I played fenders with rotosound stainless rounds..changing them once a month.
After a small hiatus in playing, I tried a set of Rotosound steve harris flats, great, but WAY too high in tension,
Went down to 45-105s and they are perfect for me. plus they last!, had a set on a P-bass for over a year and still sound great and are still very brite.
So after 2 years of running only these roto flats, to me playing a bass with roundwounds now just feels and sounds tinny, brassy, and just cheap.
Anyone running strictly flats? I play a wide spectrum of music, from classic/punk rock, 80s, to jamiroqui style funk, and they are alot more versatile then many make them out to be.
all in all Flats make your bass sound like a bass! with that nice strong fundamental,
and what else sounds better with a pick and a svt with the gain cranked 3/4 up?
