Tripehound Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 I'm the happy owner of a Dingwall Super P4. I might be even happier if it could be strung with flat wounds so does anyone know of a suitable brand/scale? Advice much appreciated. Quote
TheGreek Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) https://guitarspace.org/guitar-accessories/best-flatwound-bass-strings/ There was a time when Fender tapewounds were very well priced - I started a thread on them at the time. Thomann have them for £25 but you may find them for less elsewhere. https://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_9050l.htm DV247 - £17 https://www.dv247.com/en_GB/GBP/Fender-Original-7150M-Bass-Guitar-Str-ings-/art-BAS0004776-000?campaign=GShopping/GB&ProgramUUID=5G_AqJarZwoAAAFl0FZyjI8V&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4eaJBhDMARIsANhrQAD8S12K4QcUHm_59GsS4A2YYxh5Sd7Hpmorl8qqgkxSvh7FBeCDPnwaAuyQEALw_wcB Edited September 9, 2021 by TheGreek Quote
CameronJ Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Any standard scale strings will work with the Supers - it’s one of the many reasons they’re such great basses! I’ve tried Ernie Ball Cobalts which are quite bright (almost roundwound-like, tonally), Thomastik Infeld Jazz Flats (fantastic mid-character and a feel/tension which isn’t too different from rounds) and La Bella 760s which have a classic, darker tone and more “typical” flatwound feel. I think the Thomastiks are my personal favourite. 1 Quote
