    Hi guys! Trying something a bit different this time, comparing bass strings:
    Roundwounds vs Flatwounds!
    Both tracks were recorded with a bit of compression on the way in (UAD 1176 Rev.E plugin) but no EQ at all.
    If you like that kind of content, please let me know!
    Much love, David.
    Gear used:
    Fender JMJ Mustang Bass
    D'Addario EXL160M
    Fender 9050L
    Universal Audio Apollo 8P

    I recently got a Mustang bass and made the error of buying short scale strings but since it has a strings through body bridge they were too short. Are normal long scale strings the way to go? it's difficult to find medium scale strings in Finland it seems. Also awesome playing btw!

  • @T-Cranmer

    Geez, that tone is so rich. I actually think rounds sound better, and I’m surprised I’m saying that. You’re giving me GAS for this bass lol.
    Regardless of the type of strings, this bass sounds best in your hands! You’ve got amazing chops, man.

      You can definitely use long scale strings and cut them but in my experience getting the right scale reduces the risk of dead string that happens when you cut them improperly
