Re: Guitar Strings : Flatwound vs Roundwound
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!

It doesn't sound like you did any research.

I did a flatwound shootout by myself and the Pyramids won. Thomastik is Good, but they are better.

Re: Guitar Strings : Flatwound vs Roundwound
I don't think that I have ever used Flats, i've used Rounds all this time. I'm probably missing out.

Re: Guitar Strings : Flatwound vs Roundwound
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.univalve wrote:I did a flatwound shootout by myself and the Pyramids won.
