  • I have had players top load and go through the body. This will sometimes present a problem depending on scale length. It is suggest to top load the strings to counteract this problem.

  • @TheGHSStrings Thank you. I believe I will give these a try! Great videos too.

  • @xgcbossman Hope you like them!

  • Flatwounds would definitely give you a more upright sound for an electric bass. You may want to try the Taperwound set!

  • @TheGHSStrings If I go with the GHS nylon tapewound on my schecter p bass will I get any humm due to grounding issues?

  • @xgcbossman I would think that any grounding issues would remain the same regardless of strings.

  • Jaco Pastorius spoke highly of James Jamerson...you can't get a better endorsement than that!

  • @PhuckHue2 I'll take mud over ping , but to each his own.

  • Nice to see others use flatwound strings on a fretted base. I really never see anyone around where I live play that way. I love flatwound, they are exactly what I need for my bass style. And as you mention, they feel good to play/

  • My bridge allows top load or string through the body. Can GHS flatwounds be strung either way. I know some brands discourage string through(labellas). Also cant find tension specs for these.

  • @TheGHSStrings Its a Schecter Diamond P Custom with high mass bridge.

  • @TheGHSStrings Great thank you!
