Guitar-restaurant Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) [url="http://www.youtube.com/mateuszpiotrowski"]www.youtube.com/mateuszpiotrowski[/url] You can find here vintage (mostly japanese made) guitars, amps, preamplifiers etc. Have fun! I've uploaded a video with a great greco TB guitar yesterday! Edited January 15, 2013 by Mathew Piotrowski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pobrien_ie Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Best comparison video I've seen yet. Thanks for posting. As a matter of interest, which set do you prefer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Love the flats comparison. Think my fave sound on there was the LaBellas, but when I had them on my bass I wasn`t overkeen on them in the mix. Just got a set of Chromes, which seem a bit middier, so these will hopefully do what I`m after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar-restaurant Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 I couldn't decide between labella and thomastik. Rotosound had the sound that i dont like. D'addaro had the feel that i dont like - very stiff and hard to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pobrien_ie Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Cool. I ask as I have Chromes on one bass and La Bellas on another, and although I prefer the sound of the La Bellas I actually find them stiffer/harder to play! I've only had them on a couple of weeks, so maybe I'll get used to them yet. I definitely agree with you on the Rotosounds...they don't do it for me on this comparison.

Guitar-restaurant Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 Funny! For me chromes were stiff as hell:) Labella were very comfy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Well I`ve gone from Roto Rounds, Heavy Gauge, to Chromes, Medium Gauge, so there isn`t really that much of a difference in tension for me. Suits my playing as well, I can dig in when needed without floppy-string/fre-buzz-syndrome. I can see though that if someone was going from medium gauge rounds to these they may be in for a surprise.

lojo Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Great, need some new flats so that's food for thought Love the finger style patten you play for the demo, what's it from ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Thru stringing makes things a lot stiffer in my opinion so anyone that finds a set stiff on a thru strung bridge might find they are OK top loaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 You should all try some of the Ernie Ball Flats. I use Group IIIs and they are medium tension, quite bright at first but that fades into that wonderful thuddy flat tone. I've use TIs and they are great...low tension. La Bella's would be you stiff for me as I like to be able to play very fast... On the demo the Rotos are my least favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smythe Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I have a set of D'Addario Chromes on an Ibanez and Thomastik on my Vintage Fretless, Ive got to say, i much prefer the Thomastiks, they have a more even tone, less tension and you can slide easier with them, the d'addario's have a resistance/stickiness to them when sliding and they took a long time to wear in.

Guitar-restaurant Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 [b] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/6573-lojo/"]lojo[/url] - the groove is nothing special its just jamming.[/b] There is no possibility to put stings throught the body in this bass:) And I'd love to try Ernie ball's and GHS too.

Rayman Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I've settled on TI flats. like putting on your favourite slippers. Lovely feel, low tension but not floppy, nice top end tone but with a nice thump too. Both my Precisions have them on now, anything else just feels wrong.

Emanew Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Congrats for the idea ! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to really compare. I use Tomastick flats on my B10 Takamanie, they worth the price (quite expensive ). I am looking for flats for my Maple fingerboard fretless. Your job helps me a lot Edited January 5, 2013 by Emanew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Drop Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Great vids, thank so much! I can recommend sadowsky flats if you like the tonal profile of the Labellas but want a bit more cut in the mix, they are like a modernized version of these classic flats. Every time Ihear TIs on a recording they blow me away, and I have tried them on a few basses and absolutely loved the tone, but I find them a tad too flexible to be really comfortable with. I like hitting flats a bit harder, just me. My '61 P is wearing discontinued Dean Markley flats, crazy that they stopped making these just as flats came back into fashion somewhat.
