Product Reviews for Fender Bass Guitar Stainless Steel 5-String Flatwound Long Scale 34", .045 - .125, 9050-5M

Fender Bass Guitar Stainless Steel 5-String Flatwound Long Scale 34", .045 - .125, 9050-5M5NelsonDecember 28, 2011I bought these strings to try out some flatwounds. I know many flatwounds can sound kind of "dead" to players who have been playing roundwounds, but these strings are bright enough for some rock, especially if doing some old Zeppelin tunes. These strings have an emphasis on the low end, but don't lack highs. Sound great with fingers, pic, slap and pop. I found I needed to roll of the highs when doing Jazz to get a smoother tone, but keeping the EQ flat makes for some great vintage bass sounds. The D string is very present, making a lot of basslines in the middle range sound awesome. Try out these strings, no major tonal differences between the strings, nice emphasis on the low end, but still a comfortable top end.

"The first electric basses were made by Fender and were equipped with flatwound strings to more closely resemble the sound of an upright "doghouse" bass. Today's Fender Flatwounds last longer but still give that fat, warm sound you need for jazz, country or … use your imagination. There's no rules here. Try a set."
