john_the_bass Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 now then, I have a Westone Fretless bass, which I am thinking of sticking in the for sale section but before I do, I think I want to stick a set of new strings on for the lucky buyer. I've not got any flats in the house and can't really afford to buy any at the minute, but I do have a brand spanking unused set of d'addario halfrounds. Will a half flat/half round string be ok on a fretless board? It won't wear it out too much will it? I know nothing well except that rounds can potentially knackered a fretless board unless you jaco it up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_ferret Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Did you not think to look at [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=660"]this[/url] sticky before you hit the new topic button - it must have been right there on the screen in front of you?

john_the_bass Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) you're quite right, i didn't think to look at that sticky, nor did it even register that I should look for it. I thought I would ask a question and hope that somebody might answer it for me with their own opinion. but I found the sentence referring to half round strings - "These work well on fretless basses." - which is enough for me.
