iconic Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennysFord Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Wouldn't the inconsistent string tensions play havoc with the neck? (flats having a higher tension than rounds of the same gauge & all that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xilddx Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
