    Just kind of rediscovered Webstrings......

    I have a bag of strings that I have tried, collected, etc. through the past couple of years.

    Among them were 3 sets of Webstrings Flatwounds. I had two different guages, and tried them on a couple of basses back then. I just moved on - nothing negative - just moved on.

    Sometimes, Just for Shits and Giggles (S&Gs) I will change a bass up just for something to do. Strings are a easy changeover, do a set up etc.....

    I forgot how smooooove these are. not sticky at all, you can't feel the wraps. It feels like a solid core of polished wire. Tone is nice, will play this on Thursday to check the sound in the mix, setup etc. these have a different sound than chromes, more low-mid growl I think. this set is prob the .105s.

    I set it up with minimal relief (almost dead straight) and 4-6 / 64ths (6 at the E) which for me accommodates my hands well. the straight neck makes this feel lower than it is I believe.

    Just thought I would share - I have TI's Chromes, Fender Flats, and Dunlop Nickle rounds on my basses right now. The set that WAS on this bass was the Nickle rounds, and they seemed ......done. Still good motown sound, but not for me.

    I've switched over to the Dunlop rounds on my bass as they feel and sound A LOT like Rotos.. While the Rotos are my fave, the Dunlops are cheaper and easier to come by.
