GrammeFriday Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Correct decision, Hutton! As Steff says, it would be nice to have 2x2, but if you only have one J and one P, and want some versatility in your sounds, then I would always put roundwounds on the Jazz, and flats on the Precision. Nickel roundwounds, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutton Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Nickel rounds - absolutely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smythe Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I'm a flats man myself, Chromes in particular.,. but I didn't like them on my Jazz, I felt they muted the trademark Jazz tone. Nickel's or Steels bring out that classic punchy,grindy tone which is what these iconic basses are all about ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickel roundwounds, right? [/quote] +1 Precision with flats... now thats a dream. Or just the new year's resolution Tried Nickels on my StingRay5 - was quite pleased with the results. Darker, but a bit warmer and a tad growlier sound. Currently have steels, but will try again nickels next time I restring. A set of Bass Centre Elites nickel is coming my way soon, will try them on the Fender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh2 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I prefer RS 66's on my Ps as well, I've a fretted and fretless. The fretless has a heavily lacquered maple board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zapp Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 You could try D'Addario half rounds, basically a round wound with the tops ground flat. Slinky and quiet under the fingers but plenty there if you occasionally pop and/or slap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
