HowieBass Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I think it really is all about personal preference. Some people hate the sound of flats on anything. I've tried flats on a Jazz, didn't like them much so I prefer rounds on that type of bass but like yourself I love flats on a Precision. If they sound good on your SR600 then leave them on there.

6v6 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I've got TI flats on my SR500 and they're great, but I agree it's personal preference. I can see why some folks would think it's a weird choice of string for a modern active bass, but for me it gave the mellow sound I was looking for, which at the end of the day is all that matters really.

isteen Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Yep. I put some flats on it, and I like the tone it gives me - so I now have flats on all my basses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
