I've found the ONE.

I recently bought a Fender Precision Special Deluxe from our resident gear tart Karlfer. It's the first bass I've had nearly 50 years that have flats fitted. I love them. I'm also in love with the P body and Jazz neck. I have another Precision with rounds and it now feels and sounds wrong. I think I've finally seen the light.

Yep, nice one, always great when something just feels 'right' straight away.

Been thinking about putting flats on one of my Precisions (and Jazzes actually), but the high tension scares me!

I did read on here that TI flats are relatively low tension, so might try them, have to wait until pay day though, they're pricey!

Glad you are enjoying it Alan, it's a very well sorted bass.
The tension on those flat wounds is just right for me, slightly more than La Bella, slightly less than Fender.
These guys have them a lot cheaper than I got them :rolleyes:

Drop down list, 4 string bass flatwound 45 - 100
Don't know how many they have left though.
