strings

Topics about musical instruments other than guitar should go here. There's bound to be a Carter, LeRoi, or Yo-Yo Ma out there.

strings

Post by i like tictacs »

do you use flat wound, half wound or round wound strings on your bass? what would you think is the best for dmb related material? i know you can't slap well on flats but also rounds make way too much noise for me.

damn, reverse the two in my above post then. use the flats for fretless. :) i can't imagine what flats on a fretted would feel like....i like their smoothity...but i can't have a fretted and not slap.
