Flatwound strings for a headless bass

[thewalruswaspaul]

Have been considering getting a headless bass since a recent back injury occurred , the one thing stopping me from doing this is that ive never seen a set of flatwounds for a headless bass, anybody know if anyone makes flats for headless basses?

Check out the double ball end Hot wires

What he said. They are good strings too - I use them on my headed basses.

Don't whatever you do try a set of single ball ones, the string clamps/locking nuts or whatever they're called don't work with flatwounds.

I know from experience

I have the first version (1986) Hohner B2A. When I started using flatwounds on my basses I emailed strings direct with the same enquiy. They ordered some nice smooth picato double ball flats in for me. I have had them on the bass for about four years so far and they're still going strong.
