Wilco Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) I want to restring my recently required fretless. My preferences are;-- 1) Flatwound 2) Round core 3) No silk 4) No coloured ball ends Anyone know of any strings that meets all of the above? Cheers, Wilco Edited December 21, 2017 by Wilco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanew Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Few years ago i "discovered" halfrounds or semi-flat rounds. Two worlds in one set : you protect your fingerboard but you keep the singing Mwah. I use them on my old fretless JB. I keep flatwounds for my fretted PB. d'Addario strings are cheap and excellent but they have coloured balls end Others brands offer halfrounds/semi-flats strings, you choose. Hope it helps Keep the groove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickA Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I am quite suddenly a huge convert to EB Cobalt Flats. Silky smooth, lively sound (for a flat) and no coloured ball ends. They do have dark purple silks, but I guess you could remove them if it really bothered you. Frankly, it is the sound that counts ;¬) and these do sound good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
