Flats are going to save the planet... it's true!

[warwickhunt]

Has anyone ever thrown away a set of flats off a bass?  No, I thought not.  

 

Ergo, every set of flat wound strings ever produced is still in existence.  Bass players who use flats are the ultimate eco-warrior... just saying!

Good point, but then it's a well known fact that suspension bridges are built using recycled roundwounds, so if everyone used flats we wouldn't have any suspension bridges.

No never, they just get better with time 

[Waddo Soqable]

I've never thrown roundwounds away either, unless they're snapped.. 

[oldslapper]

I just thought round wounds ended up as sink drain cleaners when they died.

Maybe not Cobalt flats though 🤭

Another benefit for flats is that people can live in them.

And there I was thinking they were just comfortable shoes.

Fun Fact: The Forth suspension bridge is where the term "Suspended Forth" comes from.

I've got seven new sets of flats sitting around in case I need them. I reckon that's a minimum of 140 years' worth.

Why don’t you rent some out? That’s quite a popular business so I believe.

I think AI will automatically change them to advanced prototype controlled by a mini chip inside.

The new prototype will be covered by a natural human flesh, small hands, arms. It will start automatical changing in 2035. All AA will be automaticaly changed to new prototype.

I always thought flats were just worn down rounds, bit like racing slicks started life as treaded tyres. No?
