A year or so ago I picked up some LaBella James Jamerson flatwounds - for some reason I thought they might be low tension, but they are like bridge cables! It seemed like it was bowing the neck of my Telecaster bass, which has a neck like a baseball bat sawn in half!
It was so bad that I loosened the strings and just left it like that. Well, I'm finally going to have the bass refinished and souped up a bit, with separate outputs for the humbucker and a set of Alembic Activators that I recently scored, and so I put on a set of D'Addario Chromes so that it could get used to normal tension.
Soooo, if anyone wants the Jamersons, you are more than welcome to them! I might just want to be reimbursed for the shipping. They have barely been used at all. I just don't see myself ever putting them on another bass. If I put them on my 4001, I think the tailpiece would just bend like butter!
So let me know! They are long scale. Oh, and I accept PayPal.
