ClassicVibes Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Has anyone tried these? Thinking of switching over from GHS Precision flats. Could anyone compare the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky_lowdown Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 There's plenty of threads about different flatwounds, including comparison's. Have a search around mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossHetherington Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I've just put Dunlop Flats on my P bass. Very even tone across strings, no dodgy E string. They are quite bright so you need to knock the tone knob down. So far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I have a set of the Fender flatwounds on my fretless Spectorcore - very reasonably priced and seem to do the job more than adequately. Hope that doesn't throw a spanner in the works of your thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossHetherington Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Dunlop's from Bass Direct are pretty good value, expensive from other sellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pineweasel Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I like the Dunlop flats on my Precision. Agree about them being quite bright. They're also low tension compared to Chromes, the only other flats I've tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
