Anyone ever mixed flatties with rounds?

Do you have the 18.5 string Alain Caron set by any chance?

3 sets but they are £25 a set

Damn, I'm after short scale - do you know if it's possible to trim the 32" without causing any intonation problems?

I've found it's difficult to find the ends.

That's too much. I could say I've seen them cheaper but that would be an oxymoron.

Another problem I've found is that putting lemon oil on my fingerboard made it disappear, but I discovered that putting it next to a candle made it visible again. That problem coupled with using the TIIs made me a bit too nervous to go on stage.

A twannick? A [i]twannick[/i]? I'm not the twannick, me. It's that fat bastard in the green waistcoat with a bullet through his head in post #3 who's a twannick.

Me, I'm a gobozoid. And a thespian. Your invitation to my naturist garden party is withdrawn.

To return to the OP, flatties are all very well but I find my playing flounders somewhat when using them!

You should stop playing flounders and return to bass.

I've been to your naturist garden parties before and withdrawn was certainly appropriate.

I heard Wayne does have double balls but short scale.

If you trim the excess from the middle of the string,it should improve your sound massively.........allegedly.

Apparently if they are too long you can also solve this by tying a neat bow in the middle - hey presto! shorter scale length

[Happy Jack]

But do you get a funny feeling when they slap against the ceiling?

[quote name='iconic' post='729422' date='Jan 30 2010, 06:57 AM']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]

dont know..i suggested this to a string supplier once and they said it wasnt a good idea
may be due to something like output etc

worth a try...but as mentioned...TI know how to turn out the best flats in the world...and they sustain and bend as well

[iconic]

right, well, erm after all that no one has tried this, or wishes to admit to it

I'm sure in my five second dalliance with a jazz bass (I still feel dirty) that it came with the E flatwound and the other three roundwound. As they sounded dead as a dodo I replaced them straight way.

Can you get those invisible strings with silk wraps?

They do them in different colours? Tell me they do them in blue!
