One thing I really appreciate about this video is that you demo something people would actually play. I get that people play different kinds of music, but I hate tutorials that only demo some weird way or genre I’d never even touch on the bass.
Thank you I appreciate that! I’m always trying to fill the void I always had when looking for gear examples - and that was one of the big bears I also had! T
Really good demo man. No nonsense and good quality. My only suggestion would be to try out a pick too. I think a short scale with flats played with a pick is one of the juiciest tones.
LJPV777 Thank you for watching! I’ll definitely keep that in mind in future short-scale vids. I will hopefully get my hands on one of the American performers in the near future so I’ll be sure to include it in that video. Watch this space! T
Agreed, some stuff cannot be fingered properly. That... I need a shower after that line, hopefully this detours its meaning, not at all. Came off a bit dirty... pick works for punk and super progressive metal stuff, where not even Claypool could thump fast enough with fingers.
It is of course personal opinion but I consistently preferred the flat wounds. Love the playing and love mustangs! My 1969 mustang sounds amazing with flats.
I just bought a black one with tortoise pick guard. Love these things. In my mind it’s the best bang for your buck from fender. Not super cheap but it won’t brake your bank. Amazing quality and feel
Well done video! I found this as I was actually considering putting the chromes on the exact same bass to replace the stock Fenders. I'm not a flats guy on most of my basses as I play brighter styles and slap but want a round more vintage tone on this bass and they sound perfect and should do nicely - thanks. Edit - I'll add that I never like the J pickup soloed on my basses with rounds (nor in your video) but it sounded great with the Chromes. I'm excited for that change.
Both set of strings sound awesome and your playing helps a lot! But I'd say that Roundwounds go better with any Precision bass to accentuate the sound. Flatwounds sound more balanced when you have a jazz bass or use the jazz pickup only. Nice video.
Thanks for the thorough comparison. I listened without looking and quickly came to the conclusion that I actually prefer the “first one,” which is of course the round-wound. It seems like all the cool kids are obsessed over flatwound strings right now - and I do love a good bandwagon, lol - but the rounds are just so much more versatile. You can roll off the highs, you can play the P (or in my case, the neck) pickup - in other words, you can mellow the sound. With the flats, you can’t so easily “add” high-end frequencies; even with the tone set at 100%, playing near the bridge, etc., it’s what it is and nothing more - if that makes sense.
I'm feeling the same way about rounds being more versatile. Flats sound better with the tone rolled up but gets buried in the mix when rolled down. I tend to be someone who likes to roll their volume and tone knobs all the way up and leave it, but it would take minimal effort to roll off those highs with the tone pot. One could also swap the value of their tone pot or wire a capacitor to the pre-existing one to limit its upper range. It also not difficult to swap the strings out for flats, but bass strings aren't cheap and I only tend to change my strings when they sound dull, in which case the rounds would last much longer. All that being said, I've never tried flats and wonder how they feel. I also see how it would bring a short scale instrument back some of that lost girth, especially if you go up a gauge.
Thank you, this really helped as I purchased and just received my Fender Mustang Bass. I am the bass player for our Praise Team and have been playing a Fender Jazz Bass which I LOVE the sound but it is heavy for me and with the long neck... After I found out about the Mustangs, I've had my eye on one and am so thrilled with the size! I just need to get the sound better closer to my Fender Jazz and then I'll be happy! Thanks, again!
Good review - straight in there - no vanity stuff 👍 In my opinion they both sound good and nothing you couldn’t tweak more in the studio with a parametric eq should you wish
Definitely the case. I think it’s worth keeping rounds on generally as you can always make them sound more dead. In all honesty you’re right, there’s very little you can’t do with a good EQ and a bass that’s eminently playable. T
Im gonna switch from a jazz bass to this mustang, I play long scale for 7 years now but my hands are sm0ll and after having played on a short scale from a friend I was amazed by how it suited my hand size. So yeah mustang here I come :D
I've done the same after playing 10+ years Jazz/P-bass -now I play a Mustang PJ and it rocks. No more stretching/cramping. You'll play a lot faster and more conformable with a Mustang and still have P or J tone with both pickups. Zeker een aanrader! Did you buy it already?
I think the round wounds have more low end and are punchier (more noticeable in the lower register of the E string). Maybe it has something to do with the round wounds being medium gauge and the flats being light gauge. Or maybe the action or pickup placement needs to be adjusted to compensate for the gauge difference. Comparing rounds and flats of the same gauge would be better. I just picked up one of these basses and thought of changing the strings, but I think it sounds OK with the factory strings.
Hey there Tyler and I have a Fender PJ American Deluxe 2015 model and she came with rounds and I had been playing rounds for about 20 odd years (flats before that) and I thought I'd go back to the flats and yeah I'm glad I did. I still like the rounds so I think it maybe time to get another bass so I can have the best of both worlds. Great video mate and cheers. 👍
Great demo! It would have been great to demo with a pick too. I'm a big fan of flats! I have the largest vintage guitar string collection in the world. Some FYI: For the past few years, Fender's flat-wounds have actually been D'Adarrio XL Chromes.
I have these flats on my shorty. Apart from tone, I prefer the greater tension in the strings which I find better for timing and control. I have Fender light flats on my Jazz which on balance I prefer. The D'Daddarios are darker and have a slightly clanky feel for me.
I am honestly 50/50 on both! But, the lack of finger noise when you move through the frets gives the flats a substantial advantage! What about the tapewounds? Should you review this ones too?
Great demo! Very well done Tyler. All of the iterations sounded good, and would have their place in a player's overall tonal profile, but, for me, Roundwounds + J Pickup + Tone @ 100% = LOVE! How would you compare the feel and playability of these two sets? Thanks so much for the great demo.
Tyler great comparison and playing, if there was one SS string that you could pick to play classic rock and perhaps tone down for a jazzy feel which strings would be worth exploring for a Mustang ? I mainly play with a pick, for your reference. My bass came with the Fender stock 40-95 Roundrounds, which are okay. I like the sound of these Chromes here, but wanted to get your thoughts on other option, JHS, Rotosound etc. It's a black hole out there when it comes to strings, Cheers
Seriously eyeballing this as an alternative to finding a beater Rickenbacker 4003. The short scale really gives it a nice growl. Honestly, this bass sounds pretty good with both sets of strings on every setting, even with tone rolled all the way off, which is usually anathema to me. Hate tone knobs. Definitely would have been good to do the same set of clips with a pick, but I get that would have been a day's more work. Cheers!
Nicely done. I prefer the flats, but then I usually prefer flats. It seemed to me that the rounds perhaps accentuated some of the "short scale" characteristics.
I prefer to play rock ...so I think rounds are better for me but I did like the sound of the flats. It's hard to choose when you like the sound of both ! 😆🎸
I notice that with the rounds u tend to vary the place where ur right hand picks the string, but with the flats, u primarily stay in one spot (in relationship to where the bridge is). Is this to pull different tone out of the string (due to more tension near the bridge) while ur playing, to compensate for some string vibration and buzzing issues, or just some subconscious unrelated anomaly? I'm primarily a guitar player and singer, but also play bass and drums as needed, or just because it's fun to play and I like it. With guitar, it makes a big difference how and what u use to play the note. With bass, I like to use a pick made from the backing of a P90 pickup (Jason Lollar made it) for more consistency. I haven't really experimented as much with strings and things on bass though. Thanks
Hey Tyler enjoy your videos watched a lot of your mustang and P bass stuff - with you getting a new mustang have you kept this one? How did you find it - considering it but not sure if it's worth it?
I love Fender's flats and I'm not a huge fan of D'Addario's flats. The only problem I have with Fender strings is their massive break-in time. Try GHS's Precision Wound flats sometime - they sound the most like flats right out of the gate, as where La Bella and Fender flats take quite a while for that sharp high end to soften up.
This is the video I was looking for. Just got this exact bass model and was wondering how it would sound with flats. I’m torn between getting the Daddario one or the La Bella “hofner” strings. I don’t know how different they are from each other. Choices, choices…
Great vid. I just bought a mustang PJ and was actually wondering if i should change the strings. I usually don't like rounds.. the feeling of it and the brightness but i like the bottom end of the rounds..full and round. I like the feeling of the chrome but i have a set on a P and i always feel like there's a hole in the low/ low-mids that i don't like and that i keep trying fill it with eq... i can hear it here too. So i might go for half rounds... Have you ever tried them ?.. or maybe can recommend an other set of flats without the hole thing i'm talking about ? Thanks
Hello. I have also a mustang pj with the original strings and asking myself if flats could be the good choice. Playing various style, soul, blues, rock, begin reggae, and will begin slap. What is your feedback of experience since 2w with the flats string ? Did you had to change the setup of the bass to adapt with th strings. Personally I prefer the sound of the flats but found less attack with them on the video.
Hi! Thanks for the question! I'd suggest you stick with round wound strings if you want to slap, particularly on the mustang. I find flats and slap on the mustang sounds a bit dead. You gets the attack of you hitting the string but not much of a defined note. I did tweak the truss rod, but not very much. No more than usual when I change from one tension of string to another. Thanks T
Hi, i read several forums which say the short scale D'addario are too short for the PJ mustang basses with through body strings. Is it true? I'm going to buy new strings for my pj mustang and I don't know if i have to buy short or medium scale ones. Please help! Great video anyway!
Ah amazing that it got a repeat viewing! I use both together! Run the Avalon into the warm for some more saturation and character. Really brings the midrange forward! T
Hello I just got my Fender mustang pj bass in sienna sunburst color, for Christmas 🎄! Your advice is for flats, and I’ll test them for sure. But what length of strings should I buy? The ones for short scale bass would do? Or the full scale length strings would do??

Ah no! It's not a combination I ever really use, but I will keep it in mind. It's always helpful hearing from the community about what they want to see, so thank you for the comment! T

Yeah, flats with a pick nice. Even feels good to play.

I don't know why I bother to watch these string-comparison videos. I love both flats and rounds. Nice demo.
TritoneJazzCamps haha! I use both for different things, they’re awesome!
Same reason I do, it’s fun!
Now that's the way to demo an instrument. Well done!
Thank you so much! The support is much appreciated! T
3:56 Flats, both pickups, and tone 0%. this is my favourite combination of all. i would only set tone up to 40-50% for more brightness and perfect .
Rounds, both pups, and tone off.
Can't believe I didn't check to see if you had a Mustang PJ video! Best bassist around, and I don't even check.
You’re very kind! I appreciate it and you watching! T
It is of course personal opinion but I consistently preferred the flat wounds. Love the playing and love mustangs! My 1969 mustang sounds amazing with flats.
FLATS! They get plenty bright if needed but go deeper and are so much more mellow than rounds.

Thanks Derek! Very kind! And an interesting view on the flat wounds P vs J! You might have inspired another video with that one... Thank you! T
2 of my 3 jazz basses are strung with flats (one has fender flats the other has GHS flats). Flats on a jazz bass is a great sounding combination imo.
Totally agree with that take.
I'm throwing these Chromes on my Squier VM Jaguar SS bass today. Just killing time until the post arrives. Nice demo.
Thanks for the thorough comparison.

The flats sounded surprisingly crisp to my ears. Almost moreso than the rounds.
Fresh flats can sound surprisingly bright, I've learnt. After they get played in they're much more mellow and much nicer.
I like the flats with the tone 0% and the rounds with the tone 100%. I wish you’d done them at 50%.
Great video! Here’s a like!

Hi Tyler! Do you know if the flatwound Ernie Ball strings Eb2818 are compatible with the Fender Mustang PJ? Thanks for the vid.

Great playing and the p pickup no tone is incredible , especialy with flats in my opinion.
Thank you, I appreciate that. It’s definitely a classic fat tone! T
Flatwound strings, Definitely !
I use GHS short scale strings on my Mustang bass; they are the closest to the sound that Fender flatwounds sounded in the 60's and 70's.
Awesome! I should check them out! How long have you been using them?
@@TylerSpicer I've been using them since 1989.
Wow! You really do love them! T
What strings are you using on the Fender Mustang PJ now?
Love the flats
Not much in this but I would say the flats by a nose. Great sounding bass I'm on fence with short scales.
Flats for me. Your double stops are beefier with them flats.
Jing Gaddi so true! T

Hello I just got my Fender mustang pj bass in sienna sunburst color, for Christmas 🎄! Your advice is for flats, and I’ll test them for sure. But what length of strings should I buy? The ones for short scale bass would do? Or the full scale length strings would do??
Buy short scale strings if you can! Some say long-scale strings work, but you can guarantee short scale will work on a short scale bass. T
Gotta go with the flats!
Ive had the switch changed to a blend pot, so use just a touch of the J pick up, whats that below the nut.
I usually prefer fender flat wounds but I thought those fender round wounds sounded the best.
Flatwounds sound so much better. I really hated the way this bass came set up for me.
buckbumble I definitely had to give it a good setup before using it! T
I like to put it on 0 tone and then cranking the treble! Then I have a boomy and chunky tone!
That’s a cool tone idea! What amp are you running? T
Did I here the rounds has more vibrance or resonance than the flats?
I could do a more detailed review, here's my summary:
Overall sound at 0% tone = rounds.
Overall sound at 100% tone = flats.
Best strings for J pick up only, with tone at 0% or 100% = flats.
Best strings for P pick up only, with tone at 0% or 100% = Rounds.
The flat wound sound like a sober person compared to the round wound being more like a person after a few drinks . . . .
What about 50 - 105 on the Mustang ?
I like the flats better.
Roundwounds for sure
How old were the rounds before you put the flats on?
is it fit to use fender nps strings long scale to mustang pj bass?
Is this a standard tuning on your bass ?
Danijel Brezec yes! EADG. T
Do flats feel thicker than the rounds?
How about noise/hum issue on this bass?
In this case flats were consistently better sounding.
Definitely the flats.
I’m partial to flats
He blew it! How about Flats and a pick.
Ah no! It's not a combination I ever really use, but I will keep it in mind. It's always helpful hearing from the community about what they want to see, so thank you for the comment! T
Do you play bass? Flats and a pick do not go together
@@TheSlowestBroseph tell that to Carol Kaye, Paul McCartney, Bobby Vega etc. Flats with a pick is a classic bass tone

Flatwounds in my opinion sound better on this bass.
Let me know: flats or rounds? T
Chromes.,,no question . 😊
I want that bass so bad 😭😭😭😭😭😭
flats 👍
