My Best "Putting Flat Wound Strings On A Stingray Bass w/ Before & After Sound Samples Comparison" !

Is it THE best of this kind of video? Probably, but that's neither here nor there.
I have no affiliation with any manufacturer, retailer, whatever... I bought and paid for every piece of gear you see in this video and made this video for my own entertainment, and education. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE
I played my favorite bass riffs for testing out a bass/a bass setting/etc...
RIFF #1 is (a not quite accurately performed) "WAITING ROOM" from the band Fugazi. Bass line written by my favorite all-time Stingray bass player JOE LALLY.
RIFF#2 is "MOUNTAIN SONG" by Jane's Addiction Bass line written by Eric Avery (who doesn't play a Stingray but whatevs.. still a bass part that I play anytime I'm making a critical bass decision in my life).

Sample B playing Rounds??

[@SHUTUPANDRECORD]

Thanks for watching! I’ll have to re-watch and see! I forget. I just know I LOVE flats.

Before & After putting Flat Wounds on this affordable Stingray-style active bass.

Play the hell out of the bass with the flatwounds on it for a year, then do the comparison again. Flatwounds need a couple hundred hours on them to get to their most awesome sounding state.

[@SHUTUPANDRECORD]

Awesome.
That’s a cool idea.
I will do that!
Thanks for watching and the comment/suggestion.

Might want to try the D'Addario Half Rounds. Nice in between texture - more flexible than flats, but less string noise and smoother than rounds. I think round wounds are more important in a situation with distorted guitars (or synths/etc), but flats fit in better with more organic textures.

[@SHUTUPANDRECORD]

Thanks for that tip.
I’m excited to get these flat wounds into an amp… plus bass thru big muff with these flats is gonna rule.

B is roundwounds.
I'll take flats on any bass every day of the week. STRING NOISE. No sir, I don't like it.

I won’t give the results away… but…🎯
