thanks guys to be honest I was expecting to hear pretty much what you all said.....but I am glad I asked before I threw my money away.... a local shop has a few Ibanez SR300s in stock so I might give those a try ..... thanks for the replies.......

hello...I am new to the bass guitar & have had a P-bass with flat wounds on loan for a while. I am going to have to hand it back soon & get a bass of my own . I love the sound but found the guitar very heavy & the neck is a bit wide for me.A work mate is selling an almost new Fleabass for £200 (ish) , he is selling it because he said it was "a one trick pony" tone wise & wants a bass with a couple of pickups etc. All the youtube vids seem to show this type of bass being used for slapping & popping etc. My question is would this guitar be suitable to string with flat wounds ? & whats peoples opinion on them as an instrument ? as I understand they are not being made any more !....cheers
