alinbassplayer Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Hello all, i have been looking online like crazy, for the past ciuple of years on my fretless i've been using rotosound flatwounds, and the B is tapered at the ball end, my bass is a 5 string warwick streamer, so my action is all weird, and so is intonation and feel, i also play half a step down so A# and so; so i am looking for a set of decent flats for a 35 inch scale, with a 2 piece bridge, so no taper on the ball end, and ideally no taper on the nut side either. From your experience, can you guys recommend one or 2 sets of flats that i can try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonic_Groove Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 The La Bella DT 128 B string is tapered Brendan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alinbassplayer Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 Thanks guys! Asked a friend of mine who uses La Bellas and apparently they are tapered, i might just need to ask Mark from Bass direct and see what they have in stock, as i don't want to buy sets of strings, open them and then wallow in disappointment :))) and try and sell them for less. Normally i would just buy and try but money is extremely tight now and i am just looking for a sure thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for that, I've been looking at the D'addario's, just never had a good experience with them before, will give them another try, and will look into the the TI's as well.
