Cybergimp109 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 hi just defretted a bass and wanting to get some flatwounds to save the fretboard from wear. the only set i can find for a six string(on thomann atleast) are infield jazz at €64. does anyone know any good sites that would sell a decent set cheaper or just same price but better? never bought flatwounds so dont know which are good etc. i usually buy strings from america as the prices here seem crazy for 6 string sets usually half price or so but the sites i use over there have no six sets. any help is appreciated anyway cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Hughes Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 D'Addario do a 6 set in flats - their Chromes series. For closer to home, try OVerwater strings. I have no first hand experience, but the Overwater people are great and would happily answer any questions about their strings I'm sure.

zero9 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I usually go to www.status-graphite.com, at £23.50 for a 6 string flatwound set (not bad), great British Company, fantastic service... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
