thewalruswaspaul Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Hi, Ive just recently been turned on to flatwounds and have definately been converted , Im using chromes at the moment and love the thump but am after something more old school and much less bright. I think that the Jamerson Labellas will fit the bill but Im kind of a light gauge flats kind of person and imagine the Jamersons to be like playing cables rather than strings. I was thinking maybe the Labella Deep Talkin Flats extra light 760FX set (39 56 77 96) , will these give me the fat old school tone I am looking for?

wateroftyne Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Absolutely. They do quite a rich tone as well, if that's what you want. They're great strings.. I use the FLs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am after an oldschool sound and am into warm sounds rather than crystal clarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul, the Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I had a set, they sounded dull and clicky to me. Too much tension as well. I'm sure it was my fault considering other comments. I'm going to try TIs next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I've tried Labella flats and didn't get on with 'em and just thought it was me too. Then I tried Rotos and they didn't feel nice under my fingers so then I said whatthehell and tried Roberts Flatwounds from ebay which are one of the [i]products[/i] I've ever bought. I then tried TI and now I'm happy, they are exactly what I was looking for; I have them on my US Peavey and with the P pup on full it sounds very authentic jazz/soul.
