thewalruswaspaul Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Have been considering getting a headless bass since a recent back injury occurred , the one thing stopping me from doing this is that ive never seen a set of flatwounds for a headless bass, anybody know if anyone makes flats for headless basses?

bass_ferret Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 What he said. They are good strings too - I use them on my headed basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6stringbassist Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Don't whatever you do try a set of single ball ones, the string clamps/locking nuts or whatever they're called don't work with flatwounds. I know from experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I have the first version (1986) Hohner B2A. When I started using flatwounds on my basses I emailed strings direct with the same enquiy. They ordered some nice smooth picato double ball flats in for me. I have had them on the bass for about four years so far and they're still going strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
