Super helpful vid. I haven’t used flats yet but want to try it out, turns out the fenders are the exact sound I’m going for. Saved me a lot of money by getting the right set from the get go

Blue!!

The fender sounds better. I just got one today. The playability and tone is unbelievable!😊

Really well done comparison / review vid. I am caving in and shopping flatwounds for the first time in 46 years. Prog guy, but I just bought my first P bass, a GORGEOUS Japanese made 60s P. I think it screams for flats. While I liked the upper mids and top end on some of the other strings, the Chromes just had such enormous punch down low. Probably going with those. Kudos and thanks!

Pointless video, very well done but all the basses should have the same strings. At the end of the day a P bass sounds like a P bass, just a meat and instrument that bores me to tears lol. I've bought and sold dozens of them over the years trying to get the hype but just can't. Apart from the Stingray I've found that single pickup basses just don't offer any excitement. Can't say I didn't try though. Full marks for a good video though.

1972 just killed such a vibe😮

Awesome ❤😊

The Ernie Balls are the closest to Roundwounds. I believe for somebody who wants Flatwounds for the feeling but the sound more then Roundwounds will be happy with the EB

I have a Fender Mike Dirnt, not the Squire and it’s a different animal. The ‘59 custom shop pickup makes a massive difference

I like the 1965 and 2014 American Standard.

I've never seen laBella strings with red silks. Are you sure those aren't TIs?

really.exquisite sound... 💪😎👍

And then how they feel on the fingers.

Each bass is special for its style. None is better than the other, they just sound different.

1 3

my choice would be daddario or la bella

Blind test, fingerstyle, Pick, slow playing to allow develop the tone, using all 4 strings, no gap between the different stringtests for perfect remember by ear, with and without drums, different toneknob settings = a realy awesome test. Thank you

The red/white better

The '69 Precision ❤

Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day ❤😊

Are there any flat-wounds for 32" scale 5 string basses

WOW... The TIs sound vastly superior to the others to my ears!

Maple fingerboards sound better, to me anyway.

Ive had both of these on a bass for over 2 years each, la bella (despite their terrible QC) wins by a mile. Once they sound good, they never stop, and are totally even across the set. Jazz flats sound decent out the packet, but quickly die to a point of having no top end flatwound clank at all, which for me was a deal breaker. Also the jazz flats E and A feel very different to the D and G, like the winding is different. If you are deciding between them, i'd highly recommend the la bella standard gauge. That is, if you can get a set that isnt faulty. I put two decent sets on both p basses, and they are never coming off.

The one with the beefiest neck is the winner for me. I have sold two 1975 P basses that had thinner necks. I use my 68 and 73 telecaster basses daily.

I like the 77 more. thanks for the video

Sounds like blue one has low cut filter on it. 🤔

another epic content as always. I am currently using a black edition DCX Bass in EQ mode as a tone shaper with my Darkglass Alpha Omega Photon. Now, I'm just waiting for my OE Bass Rig 64 Black to arrive to add to my minimalist fly rig. I plan to place the Bass Rig at the end of the chain (EBMM Stingray 4 > DCX Bass > DG Alpha Omega Photon > 64 Black). I intend to use the DCX Bass as a boost or for my clean tone, and have my Darkglass drive the Bass Rig. Considering that they are all preamps, would it be too much to have three preamps on one board? If you can please create a content stacking pre amps like origin with darkglass would be killer.

I like the Ernie Ball strings best. The pick sound reminds of the Pixies.

Also the Fenders, have them on my P-bass and just some people are saying, it has a bit of a sharper bite than all the others and that's what I like about it.

1965 and 2014 I liked the best 🤟🤙👍

77

like the bass of Matt Freeman omg

Vado contro corrente e voto per il '60! Il Pure Vintage '63 è il mio pickup preferito.

50's is THE BASS

I just want a new P bass with a Jazz neck why is that so hard to get fender?

grande Leo. sound da paura e la differenza fra i 2 strumenti è chiara. Il '50 è davvero fico

Leggera preferenza per il '50... Ma entrambi bellissimi 👍 PS: i cuscini sempre TOP 😂

Both excellent, but 50s rulez, at least in this vid! 👍🏻🔥

ottima comparazione. il 50 già ce l ho mi manca un 60. da usare però uno con corde flat uno round. quale??

Profilo manico del '50 come risulta?

Приветствую всех профессионалов и любителей, автора канала благодарю за инфу. И хочу предложить свой precision bass, уникальный винтаж 60-70г.

Il 50 a tono 100% ha una marcia in più. Col tono chiuso il 60 è un filo più ciccio. Le corde sono simili come età? Perché il 50 è decisamente più brillante a toni aperti

Direi '50 toni aperti 🥰

‘60s just speaks to me!

'50 rulezz!

The Fenders are my favorite and this video confirms it. I like the wiry bite in the high mids and a more subtle low mid. Really round sounding.

You should using same strings to compare the basses

Overall the AVII 👍🏻👍🏻
