Ernie Ball Pino Palladino flatwounds - £90 a set

[Sibob]

I’ll stick with La Bella 760FL’s at half the price!

 

Si

Got a set of the 43-108s on the way, which I’ll likely put on my ‘Ray. Not expecting them to set the world alight but curiosity (and some good discounts) got the better of me!

please let us know how you get on

I have some EB Cobalt Flats arriving this week which I can't remember ever using  but what I felt was a cheap price so worth a try.

Surely the answer for pino's sound etc would be to use what pino used in the 80s - what made him famous?

his approach to music, deep harmony knowledge, his technique?

speaking of thing, I'd rather ask what has been made famous by him (fretless Stingray, OC-2, CE-2?)

I've bought a set - better be decent at this price 

 

The most expensive strings I had bought previously were a set of LaBella "Jamerson" 1954 flats at around £50 (which seemed ludicrously expensive)

 

Anyone else ordered a set yet?

Or, any thoughts?

I will hard pass on any strings that are priced that high, I don't use flats anymore but when I did I wouldn't have paid that.

I don't know what is "better" just that I think the Labella's are "better" on the Jazz and the Chromes are "better" on the Precision etc .. 

 

Interesting. I'm the opposite. I use La Bellas on my P and Chromes on my Jazz.
