Early Stingrays came factory-fitted with flats, as did all Fender basses until the mid/late 1970s. And not everyone wants a bright sounding barking bass.

My son, when he was playing guitar in a 'gypsy dub' eleven-piece, was using heavy gauge flatwounds on an Epiphone Casino and on a Fender Thinline Jaguar - either Rotosound Top Tapes (cheap) or Thomastiks or Pyramid Golds (both expensive). But he was not bending notes and was more doing rhythm skanking and clean melody lines. He did have a very thick warm tone. I've also played with slide guitarists using flatwounds for a smoother sound.

Ha ha 😉

That was a good moment amongst many. I liked Billy Preston playing electric piano with his left hand while reading the paper with his right hand.

Very possibly.

I completely agree. The story arc was great.

Ha Ha very good.

I had one once but it never caught on and I sold it.

No, you never saw it there is no such thing.

Very nice.

How many left-handers did they stock?

There's nothing wrong with that bass line or bass playing.

Slappity-noodle-doodle-bappity-blab .... get fired Root notes and key phrases .... get hired

More than enough for me.
