obbm Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Before I lash out on new strings has anyone tried flats or nylon coated strings on an MM Sterling or SB14? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I have D'Addario chromes on my EBMM Sterling. Tames some of the top end and has a smooth, tight bottom, which surely everyone wants? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDaveTheBass Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I have two EBMM Sterlings; one fretted, one fretless. Both are sporting EB Cobalt Flatwounds, which feel lovely to play and sound tremendous. I haven't used any other strings for years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin E Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Yes, I used an SB14 as my main gigging bass for years in a function band doing all the usual stuff. I tried TI Jazz flats on it ,my first dip into flatwounds. I thought they were fantastic, I liked the soft feel and low tension. We used to play long sets and my finger tips used to suffer with rounds. I've subsequently put them on all my basses and now use nothing else. All very subjective of course but for me thay worked well on the SB14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
