+1 TI/Roto flats have transformed a couple of my basses, but I don't really like them on my maple precision, so I'll be going back to D'Addario rounds for that one - Trial over.
Gotta have these in the collection...
1) Punchy vintage sounding bass
2) 2 octave modern sounding soap bar bass
3) Fretless bass
4) 5 string bass
Vintage fretless and 2 octave modern 5 is also fine.
You can get a good Precision for £300 if it's made of the 'right' timbers.
I've had over a 100 basses now and those I've kept hold of are in the £750 to £1,000 bracket.
My late Overwater was a bit of a luxury, but still sub £2,000.
7.5" - I'll play any neck profile and 33/34" scale only.
The only profile with a 34" scale neck that I haven't been able to get around, is that of a G&L L2500.
I prefer to use flats on basses with more wallop than a P.
I've gone from D'Addario rounds to half-rounds for now, just to see if I can get best of both worlds.
I'm using ENR71 half-rounds (along with my usual Rotos and TIs) and the jury is out on the D'Addarios at the moment, although they do feel a bit light.
I've always used D'Addario and Elixir rounds.
