So, what differences do you hear between the two sets of strings? I ask because I’m not a flats guy, so I have no point of reference.

The Low Tension Flats are on a round core; the Deep Talkin flats are hex core. LTFs have a more pronounced mid range, DTFs have a more pronounced bottom range.

DTFs think Jamerson/Motown, LTFs think Sting/Waters/John Deacon (they used Rotosound 77s, but LTFs are Labellas version)

The sound is insane, it’s hard to describe how full and rich the basses are and the definition of the treble.

Of course, all this cotton candy does have an inconvenient razor blade in it. It’s set up like ass. Mid to high, with almost no clank :frowning: Oh well, nothing for it, nothing to it but to do it.

Congrats on the new bass.

And the setup practice. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

If you need to, you can send it to me and I’ll get it setup right for you. Won’t take long I swear.

How much does it weigh might I ask? It’s a good looking bass, and all that maple adds to the tone. I know tonewood is the last 5%-10%, but sometimes that matters.

Thank you for the setup offer :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Much appreciated.

Yep, she’s a boat anchor. Easily over 11 lbs (that’s 5 communist). I don’t mind, though.

I like your taste! Mustang is so much fun and you will surely try out flatwounds at some point and be amazed but love the tone of the rounds too. And as far as the amp… my Regards to your neighbours!
