JakeBrownBass Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Recently got a Fender P with pretty much brand new Ernie Ball flatwounds! Never really been a flat wound player so looking for some nice, new roundwounds that will have a G strings long enough to fit! Cheers Jake Edit: Will accept £15 delivered for these barely used strings! Edited January 20, 2009 by jake_tenfloors

(i aint too sure of my gauge strings cause i have a load of sets which i've used for a couple of weeks then changed the whole set...just cause one broke) quite simply, thick, medium or thin? (with approx size numbers.) ...how simplistic
Guest Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 If you don't find a trade PM me, really nice strings these ( if you like flats ) Don't think i can offer a trade as i have a two a side bass, i will have a hunt for a set of hi beams i KNOW i have hiding somewhere

Cheers Jake Will do mate.[/quote] coolio. what gauge strings do you want to trade for. i have a completely unused set that came straight off a fretless i had made. (i changed them for flatwounds) and they're long enough for a jazz bass neck so should be long enough for you. They're quite a heavy gauge...probably about 105-110 on the E (that's heavy in my opinion anyway) Or i have some thinner strings, whatever takes your fancy i will probably have (so long as they're not thicker than 110 on the E

I'll have strings of that gauge tis just a case of working out what's what cause i've just ordered it as 'E strings' 'A strings' etc. hmm...i've just realised there might be a problem with the sizing of some of them. I'll check what i have then reply, i hope i can find the right length ones now.
ash_sak Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 damn it. all my strings, though hardly used, have been cut down to suit my bass so they wont fit a fender. (my headstocks a 2+2 so the D and G wont be long enough for you) sorry for 'leading you on', i hope someone else can find some to trade.

Stompbox Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Hi - Do you still have the Ernie Ball flatwounds up for trade? I have a new & unused set of D'Addario EPS220 - Super Bright Prosteel Long gauge strings to trade. I want a set of flatwounds for a Peavey Foundation fretless (which is a 34" scale - styled very much on the Fender Jazz bass) so if yours are for a Precision, they should be OK. Do you know what gauge the Enie Ball strings are?
