Anyone ever mixed flatties with rounds?

[iconic]

Just a thought....nice deep Chic low tone but a nice bright G string for funky pops?

.....there maybe a very obvious reason why this isn't done though

[KennysFord]

Although I'm probably the worlds worst slap player i can get a very satisfactory "pop" on my jazzer with TI jazz flats if it helps.

You do realise you've just started the Next Big Thing, don't you? This time next year, everyone will be doing it.

Even better, it's something [i]new[/i] for us all to argue about on here. Nice work, Sir.

I don't agree with you.

I think you're wrong there, you could easily achieve that with nylon strings.

What is this madness?

[RhysP]

Wouldn't the inconsistent string tensions play havoc with the neck? (flats having a higher tension than rounds of the same gauge & all that).

Don't see why you shouldn't try it - no harm can result.

You are entitled to your opinion but I still think you're wrong.

Utter claptrap. You're a moron.

Rotosound have been making these sets for years, three dead, one good.

If I disagree with myself will that a create a black hole?

Sorry, but it had to be done.

I find my bass is more percussive-sounding with no strings at all. Have you tried the new Tomastik Infeld Invisibles? I find they save me money too, I have never had to change them, they never seem to lose their tone or anything.

How can you say such a thing when you haven't even tried it. Until you can disagree without personal insults I suggest you are a twannick.

Well, speaking as a former potential string mixerupperer I would say that it definitely might be worth trying. But not in public.

[Marvin]

My strings have always sounded best with the amp turned off and the bass safely tucked away in its case. Playing then results in a quiet thump!
