Ed_S Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I've tried various sets of flats and eventually worked out that every time I put a set on, I 'enjoy' the novelty of something different for a while but soon have very little use for the bass in question. I then end up leaving it in its case for months on end and ultimately sell it "because I don't seem to play that one any more". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like standart pepsi/good brandy/ice.....50/50. But most often i drink gin with tonic. I know that nice rum with cola is popular, too. But mostly we drink a different own made beer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the initial “oh these feel nice I might keep them” but always end up with the same conclusion, not enough high end for me so off they come.

I have always thougt that flats had been made exactly for no high end players, so i think it's normal. Try nickel roundwounds and play some russian roulet with your amp eq. I think that will do.

They're examples of home-made alcoholic spirits. Most countries have their versions, usually distilled using local crops or produce. What is the Latvian version?
