In my experience I’ve had good luck with Thomastick-Infeld Jazz flatwounds. Deep tone with just the right amount of top. At 38 bucks a set they’re pricey. You can find mail order places on line that are much cheaper than Guitar Center.

Thomastik Jazz Flats, no doubt. Check some of the net mail order places and you can get them for close to $30; flats are hard to find in most music stores.

I grew up on Fender Flats, then the Black Tapes, and then the green ones. I had a set of Pyramid Flats on one of my basses and found them very nice for Jazz and R&B. Their sustain lasts a long time too. Regards, Rich Koerner, Time Electronics. http://www.timeelect.com Service * Repair * Modifications * Design Engineering Live Sound & Studio Production

After reading all the various posts regarding types of string everyone uses I think the time has come for me to experiment with some flatwounds. However I dont everthing to become too wooly and wondered what everyone thinks are the brightest sounding flats. I’m using halfway house Rotosound groundwounds at the moment which sound fine to me in terms of brightness. I play mostly fingerstyle R&B / old soul but sometimes drift into rockier pick style when the mood (or my 16 year old metal freak guitarist) takes me. molan * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet’s Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet – Free!
