Purple Silks on Lakland flats ?

[njr911]

Just got some new flats from Lakland with purple silks.

The Lakland JO flats that are currently on my bass have black silks ?

Have they changed ?

Maybe they got muddled up at the factory - seeing as GHS make the lakland flats and GHS flats have purple silks?

Just put some purple silked GHS flats on my Decade then had to put the sale thread on hold.

The lakland flats are my favourites on the Decade as well - just ordered some short scale GHS flats to put on the new Shorty decade....excited:)

I started with Lakland flats, then Pyramid Golds, then La Bella760N, then TI Jazz flats, now back to the Laklands (actually GHS Precisions). They are definitely the best.

Interesting - I've tried all of the above except the GHS. I like the TIs and Pyramids the best so far.

I like the TIs and the Pyramids but it also depends on the bass and on the music/band.

I used to have an American Deluxe Precision and I always preferred the TIs on that but on my American Vintage 62 I much prefer La Bella 760FS. The Pyramids work well on the Decade but the Lakland/GHS strings win I think.

Update - The purple silk Laklands sounded great on the P bass. Growly! They were new so nice a bright (for a flat)

Might have to get another set for my Jazz!
