flatwounds

bigtwangguy - 06 Sep 2004 18:48:59

Boy, the things you learn in places like this. I always thought that
flatwounds had a dull tone to them and their only purpose was to
eliminate that screech noise when sliding your hand on the neck.
Isn't that why some jazz players use them? I'm reading here that
they're the only string that has enough tone to play through a
reverb tank? I never woulda thunk it. Looks like I gotta try 'em.
Please don't tell me that I also have to raise my action an inch and
a half off the neck though...ouch, pass the ice bucket please!
