i love flats!!!


Dude, you love flats, but don't know Pyramid makes a 12-string set?

I think LaBella and Thomastik probably do as well.


obviously my research is lacking... :erm:

I've put a few sets of flatwounds on my Kramer fretless now. I dig the sound of them, the feel is a little interesting but something to get used to. I'm really digging it though!

I don't think that I have ever used Flats, i've used Rounds all this time. I'm probably missing out.

I think you're right, it's just that I've been playing Thomastiks for a long time. It used to be that around here the Pyramids were a lot more expensive than the Thomastiks. The prices are now about the same. So, next time I need strings, I'll probably pick up some Pyramids.
