Members Thumper Posted November 18, 2007 Members Share Posted November 18, 2007 I have Rotosound flats on the MIJ acoustic/electric P-bass. I love the feel and tone. Yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Westsailor Posted November 18, 2007 Members Share Posted November 18, 2007 What about half rounds? How are they on a fretless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zebra Posted November 18, 2007 Members Share Posted November 18, 2007 I played a fretless with coated elixirs once, and I'm inclined to think they're the perfect string for a fretless. Great balance of warmth and brightness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Death Hands Posted November 18, 2007 Members Share Posted November 18, 2007 Rounds, would like to experiment with tapes, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members james on bass Posted November 18, 2007 Members Share Posted November 18, 2007 I've got rounds on my fretless, but may try tuning standard and stringing it with flats when/if I get my next bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thumper Posted November 18, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 18, 2007 I had rounds on my MIJ '80s Squier Jazz fretless. I liked the tone, but not what they did to the fingerboard. I ran tapewounds on my 4001FL back in high school. They sounded much more lively than I would have thought--full, but some bark when played hard.

Members Mytola Posted November 18, 2007 Members Share Posted November 18, 2007 Rounds. Old and dead Rotosound RS66 sounds and feels the best, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members el_duderino676 Posted November 18, 2007 Members Share Posted November 18, 2007 Having tried DR Peacock Blues, Hi-Beams, and a few different kinds of flats on mine, I have to say that chrome flats are the best choice for fretless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
