1976fenderhead Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) Just bought a second-hand Aria electro-acoustic fretless bass and wondering what strings you'd recommend for this type of bass? Since it's fretless, I would think flatwound would avoid scratching the fretboard, but I see phosphor bronze seem to be the most used for acoustic basses and I don't think those are flatwound?

JanSpeeltBas Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I love Thomastik's Acoustic Bass (Acousticore), nylon core, phosphor bronze round wounds. They feel great, give extra fretless "mwaah" but do cost more than d'Addario's.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretlessguy Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I use flatwounds on my Carvin fretless ABG. They are GHS Precision flats, which I understand are hard to get on your side of the pond. I have heard TI Flats sound good on ABGs, so I might try them out. LaBella Tapewounds are also an excellent choice as well. FG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
