I agree Daddy FLip. I work at a small guitar store and we are an EBMM and Ernie Ball string dealer. I try to be as knowledgeable as I possibly can because I am an enthusiast myself. Its not just so I know what to tell the customer about an instrument or set of strings its for my knowledge as well. We don carry flatwounds either simply because no one has ever even asked for them. The area I am in just doesnt have a demand for them. But if someone asks you better believe we will be on the phone with Ernie Ball ASAP to get some in for them.

Maybe if a guitar store had a bass on the wall strung with some flats for people to try? That would give folks a chance to try them and see how nice they can be.

This is the reason I ordered another bass...I wanted one strung with flats! So it will be the Sterling strung with rounds (angry aggressive bass) and the Bongo will be strung with flats (smooth rich deep tone). Both tones are awesome.

I keep my two Stingray 5's strung with both types. One has Regular Slinky 2836 roundwounds and the other 2810 flatwounds.

Versatility baby!
