Happyness at last!

I'm using a Stingray with Labella flat wounds and an Aguilar DB 750 with two GS 112 NT. It's a fairly light wieght rig that has a real punch to it!

You weren't palying at the Sussex Arms in Tunbridge Wells on Saturday were you?

Even if it wasn't you, someone else has the same setup and it sounds awesome. I've read comments that the GS cabs are a bit mid-shy, but certainly not in your rig.

Never tried anything except for ernie balls on my five string. I must say I have always loved the sound.
What is the difference with using flats? Just curious as I am always willing to try out new stuff.

I'd say a smoother tone, very comfortable on your fingers.

Less bite, more thump!

Good to meet you on Saturday!

A decent ray with flats is a joy. Glad you've found your sound Jim, let me know if you're ever gigging in the east Kent direction

I always laugh at this... the scoop is noticable but they aren't missing. I just think it can make the cab more friendly and less harsh.

You can get great rear pickups sounds out of these, IMV..if that is what you want.
