Pow_22 Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 On my quest to find the ideal flatwound for my Epiphone rivoli i have got these two sets to offer:- 1) Picato Flat Wound 45-105. These werent on long. I use these on my P bass but a little to dark for a single humbucker bass (unoless you like dark of course). 2 hours play 2) D'Addario Halfrounds - 40-100 (i think). These were the closest i got to 'perfect'. Initially bright they soon settled down to a nice smooth thump whilst retaining a little bite. Only thing i didnt like was the small gauge. 10 hours play - Still have box Both cut for a 2+2 headstock. £12.50 each includes postage to UK
P-T-P Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Is there enough taper on these to fit a Gotoh type tuner? The anchor point on the tuners for my Rumblekat is narrow so wouldn't take the full thickness of an E string, for example.
Pow_22 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Posted August 27, 2013 i had the taper wraped round my Epi's elephant ear tuners twice so i wouldve thought so
P-T-P Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 It's more the size of the hole on the Gotoh type tuners, but as long as there's still taper on the strings, should be fine. Only ask as I trimmed a set of long scale sctings only to find the E was too fat to go in the hole!
