paddy109 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Why not buy quality used flats from Basschat? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshy Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Buy a decent set of new ones, like La Bella. £38 ish and they’ll do the job well, for bloody ages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishface Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're on ebay at the mo for £12.99 but an offer of a tenner is auto accepted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oomworthy Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) 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.
