The length of the scale is Then again I have never used them on a 35" or 36" bass, so I can't speak for those, but 34" should be fine.
The color black
This is my favorite flat out of all the company apartments I've lived in The majority of strings are strong across the whole set (I usually buy 5 string sets and I'm very picky about the low B) others lose tone as the string goes down
Selected User Reviews For Dunlop DBFS45105 Flatwound Bass 4 Strings/Set Accordion Accessory
There are some interesting strings here. "Normal" flat wounds and round wounds share a common boundary with them. In comparison to something like LaBella flats, they are brighter and have a bit more sustain. You may not find what you are looking for if you're looking for that dead motown sound, or it will take quite a while for them to die down (or at least they hold that brightness for quite a while). There is less need for adjustments to the truss rods compared with the LaBellas, as their tension is nearer to roundwound. Even if you slap them, they will sound fine. I enjoy their smoothness and feel great wearing them.
These strings rank at the top of my list. As a former player of GHS, Fender, D'Addario, and Ernie Ball, I find these to be far superior to all of them in terms of response, tone, and playability. In this case, I only gave it a 4 star review (see picture) due to the fact that on the D string just ahead of the bridge - Upon closer inspection, there appears to be separation between the wrappings. The first gig I played came with these on. I put them on two days ago. Although it appears to have no effect on the tone, I wonder if it will last long enough to replace the string before needing String sets only seem to be sold in sets, not as single strings. I've updated to A replacement set was sent to me by Amazon, and I'm happy with it. This set of strings deserves a five-star rating. This is a highly recommended read.
The following is my second set of flat wounds, which I just began experimenting with. have just placed this set on my 5 string Fender Jazz and I am in love with how it sounds. This bass gives me a nice mellow sound, so I was looking for that. A Jim Dunlop bass string has always been one of my favorites. Using Dunlop's round wounds has been my go-to since a couple years ago. Especially in my first set of flat wounds, they're good. It's more of a personal preference thing though. In comparison with the others, I prefer the way these strings feel on my fingers. I wish I purchased a set of Dunlop’s for my Fender P-bass after all, if only I could have done that in hindsight. This is bass. Previously, I would get terrible blisters on my plucking hand if I played round wounds. I no longer get them now that I play This is the most comfortable string for me to practice on and play for hours. *Update 8/22/21
I purchased three basses with these strings. In my opinion, these strings are the best there is.
As a flatwound guy, I bought these when I read These strings are amazingly beautiful - they don't sound like twisted wire to me AT ALL and With no super high end, the sound is much more like rough wounds. There's plenty of punch to them and they're certainly not dead. They seem like the kind of things round wound players would like. Strings that are incredibly versatile. This is what I use on my Fender 63 reissue P-bass and they're perfect. It won't be a problem to keep these on the bass as I love the sound so much, and I might get a second precision for the classic dead flats They are great for round-about players in particular. You're doing great, I feel.
My music has a mix of rock, metal, funk, and old school country, though I'm not trying to sound like Jamerson or Palladino. It also irritates me when I have to change strings or return to rounds. Since I started playing guitar I have played Chromes and Flats by D'Addario. Rather bright than traditional flats, but without the rough, clumsy feel of round ones. There was always a problem, though, because Chromes felt too "stiff" to me. It did not seem to make a difference what gauge I used. The Dunlop Flats can be found here. It was much better tension-wise, closer to a round. Additionally, the smooth texture is pleasing to the touch. The flats are very bright, maybe even brighter than chromes. The set on my P bass has been on for seven months now and I am still getting great slap sounds. In the future, I plan to leave them on for quite some time. I just love the sound and the feel of them. This might be the right choice if you like the sound of Chromes but do not like the stiffness.
It can be challenging to experiment with bass strings because they are so expensive. School thump) is how they There is nothing like the feel of such slinky, smooth, and They're awesome from a sonic standpoint The band does a great job of recording with a good mixture of mid and high frequencies which gives you a great low-end feeling End of sentence. I highly recommend this product.
Compared to these Dunlop flats, there are none that can rival them. I use them on seven or eight basses now, and I have them on more than just one. LaBella Deep Talkin' and Chromes are two of my favorite music groups. This just sounds and feels better, with a thump, presence, and clarity you can hear. Short scale bass, medium scale bass, and long scale bass are some of the basses I use these on. I urge you not to It's awesome to hear them.
So far I've used these strings on a number of basses and I'm very happy with their performance.
