Wanted - Flatwound strings + Bass case
i looking for some flatwound strings for either a four or five string bass (standard long scale)
also I'm after a hard case to fit a jazz or precision bass,what I'd really like is an SKB or Fender shaped case,(but not to keen on the oblong ABS type) but I'm open to suggestions. WHY

Just checked and I've got 3 sets of used flats - A set of well used and nicely dulled Chromes, a set of part used but still a bit of zing in them TI Jazz flats, and a set of (I think!) La Bella Low Tension flats. Any use?
Can you tell me a little bit about the low tension flats,as I have no expirence with low tension strings at all.
Steve
Low tension flats (The TI's and the La Bella's) are exactly that - they aren't as taught. Some love the feel (I love them on fretless) and some find them a bit too "rubber bandy" They do sound a bit different, but they give that classic Motown kind of sound in spades.
The Chromes are much higher tension, and feel similar to higher tension round wounds.
i know and like D'addario Chromes,the low tensions will be something a little different to try out.
