Where to buy flatwounds?

[wishface]

Is there anywhere that sells good quality but cheap flatwounds 

By cheap I mean preferably no more than £20 if possible.

thanks

Olympia in a black and blue packet, normally about £14. They’re ok.

Why not buy quality used flats from Basschat?

Buy a decent set of new ones, like La Bella. £38 ish and they’ll do the job well, for bloody ages.

Many thanks to paddy above for the flats he sold me and delivered. 

These are a very different experience! Reminds of the time I tried one of those ashbory basses that were popular in th eninetites for about five minutes.

Very weird

They're on ebay at the mo for £12.99 but an offer of a tenner is auto accepted.

I bought a set of [edit] Adagio on Amazon for about £15. I’m still learning but I’ve found they stay in tune, have more tone than I’d been lead to believe, and are lovely to play.

 

The only downer was the ringed end didn’t sit well in the Epi T-bird Bridge properly so ended up on my Peavy Millennium.
