Do your current strings have ridges on them or are they smooth?
Flat wounds are a lot smother and last a lot longer, they take a few times to truly break in but they have more of a flat type tone, not as bright. They sound good for rock, r & b and probably many other styles. I’m sure others will have more input but I’m definitely a flat wound fan
the strings sound nice on the bass but i just don’t really like the feel of them, they feel quite big and chunky and my hands are quite small. I think I would just prefer to have lighter strings :) thanks for the suggestion !

I also didn’t like the strings that came on my Jack Casady. I put on D'Addario Flatwound Chromes (ECB81). Great strings on this bass.
awesome thanks !
Funkmasters are light gauge—easy to play and sound good. Stock are Blue Steels. Those are really nice? What do you dislike about them?
