Badass Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I've a P-Bass that I put either Chromes or Flats on about two years ago. I am not sure which I put on the bass. I'd like to try the 'other' ones...Can anyone link me to a couple of images please of these two types? So that I may get an idea of which I have on the bass at present. Adding an image in case that helps anyone identify what I already have on the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The59Sound Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Might as well took a picture of your hand! Chromes have royal blue silks so if the strings on the bass don't have the silks then they're not Chromes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badass Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 They have royal blue silks, so Chromes they are. Even at my age you can still learn something everyday, brilliant. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Chromes are flats though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badass Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Are they? When I look at string makers sites they offer both Chromes and Flats? So I am now even more confused...Don't take much these days LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pineweasel Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 "Chromes" is the brand name for D'Addario's range of flatwound strings: http://www.daddario.com/DADProductFamily.Page?ActiveID=3768&familyid=18&sid=bb654faa-90e8-4174-87c0-e84ba40ab08b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Try a set of GHS Precision Flats. I rate these strings on a P bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use D'Addario NYXL on most of my basses, and D'Addario 'Chrome /Flats' on my P-Bass. Think I'll play them in a bit longer. Maybe giving your suggestion a try at some point chris_b Thanks for the help guys. Still learning after 50 years of playing.
