drlargepants Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Just had a set delivered today which I abesent mindidly put on. Ball end colours all correct, started tuning up, got to the G string, thinking wow this is taking a lot of effort to get up to pitch. Not to worry, must be a flatwound thing, start playing, bloody hell that G is really stiff. On closer inspection I've got two D's masquerading as a D and a G, so first venture into flatwound world has not gone well! I'm waiting on a response from the retailer but in the meantime does anyone know where I can get single Fender flatwounds from ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shambo Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I tried Fender flats and couldn't live with them. The A string just didn't sit right in the context of the set. Perhaps it was duff. Others on the forum have had more joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drlargepants Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Nah, it's the gauge the d and the g are identical bar the ballends being a different colour. Was a cheap experiment in flats, and baring this I may persist, the tone really suits what I do in the context of the band I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contact Fender UK direct or whoever you purchased the strings from. They may ask for proof that you were given two D strings but if you take a photo, they should send you the G no problems.
