Recommended Posts

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

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

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.
