badboy1984 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I found myself keep switching strings on my precision bass all the time. My jazz and my acg 5 string will always use rounds so no problem with that. On my precision bass i'm constantly want to switch between flats and rounds. Anyone like me doing swaps all the time?

ras52 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Get another Precision! My main fretted bass is a P with flats, and I have another bass with rounds. I'm currently in the early stage of thinning out, so it remains to be seen whether the roundwound survivor is a straight P, P/J or J/J. Probably one of the latter two, as if I want a toppy sound I probably want a bridge PU too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboy1984 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Talking about that i'm considering adding a bridge jazz pickup to my part build precision bass. I tend to use my precision more then any of my bass these days now. simply for plug and go style and no onboard preamp to mess around with. Altho my p bass with seymour duncan SPB3 sounds great but i wanted to add a SJB3 on the bass to make it P/J setup, and wire the have volume/volume/tone. If i do that then i will definite use rounds on the bass, because i like that bridge pickup growl when using rounds. £50 for the SJB3 to add near the bridge is not bad investment.

Highfox Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Not really anymore, tho I did go through a fortune in flats trying to find the right ones. I solved the problem for now by having flats on everything bar the Jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboy1984 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Is abit embarrass actually, the reason i keep changing is sometimes i play hardrock stuff then i feel rounds is much better, but then i also play some old school stuff which flats would be much better for the music. Trying to find a balance so i don't have to mess around with the action too much. Haven't try half rounds to behonest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andydye Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 2 p-basses is definitely your friend here matey! I've a lovely fender 50's p that's sublime with flats on it, if I needed the p with rounds sound I'd get a 60's one (squier cv mebbe) or just a straight modern one and then I'd have 2 p-basses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
