Low Down Dave Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Check Ebay you will get a set for round £10 (item 330311940321), but as a set of flatwounds tend to last for years, and the quality of the string will vastly effect the tone it might be worth spending a bit more for a decent set.

Dave[/quote] +1 to a bit better.. the flats that came on my Crafter 5 string FL were pretty ropey, especially the B. I put Picato on which brought the bass to life!

Jase Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Maybe it would be a bit smater to pay a little extra......good info guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edstraker123 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Anybody tried the optima gold flatwounds? They are £33 so pretty expensive (if you can get hold of them- they seem to be out of stock everywhere ) but normal optima gold strings I've found to be excellent.
