Tripehound Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I'm the happy owner of a Dingwall Super P4. I might be even happier if it could be strung with flat wounds so does anyone know of a suitable brand/scale? Advice much appreciated.

TheGreek Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) https://guitarspace.org/guitar-accessories/best-flatwound-bass-strings/ There was a time when Fender tapewounds were very well priced - I started a thread on them at the time. Thomann have them for £25 but you may find them for less elsewhere. https://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_9050l.htm DV247 - £17 https://www.dv247.com/en_GB/GBP/Fender-Original-7150M-Bass-Guitar-Str-ings-/art-BAS0004776-000?campaign=GShopping/GB&ProgramUUID=5G_AqJarZwoAAAFl0FZyjI8V&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4eaJBhDMARIsANhrQAD8S12K4QcUHm_59GsS4A2YYxh5Sd7Hpmorl8qqgkxSvh7FBeCDPnwaAuyQEALw_wcB Edited September 9, 2021 by TheGreek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Any standard scale strings will work with the Supers - it’s one of the many reasons they’re such great basses! I’ve tried Ernie Ball Cobalts which are quite bright (almost roundwound-like, tonally), Thomastik Infeld Jazz Flats (fantastic mid-character and a feel/tension which isn’t too different from rounds) and La Bella 760s which have a classic, darker tone and more “typical” flatwound feel. I think the Thomastiks are my personal favourite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
