▲ 12 r/Bass

I have a fender pbass and I’ve been using Ernie ball flats for about 1.5 years. My bass is set up perfectly to the strings and they play well.

Here’s some pros and cons

Pros

Smoothish

Silk matches strap

Bass is set to strings

Mostly good for everything I play

Long lasting

Blends to the band

Unique slap tone

Cons

Unique slap tone

Blends to the band

Not consistently smooth throughout the string

Expensive

Less volume on d&g strings

Not perfect for everything I play

Overall more pros than cons I’m just wondering what will give me a smoother feel while still sounding bright and thumpy like Ernie’s.

A side note, has anyone tried ground wounds/half rounds?

If this comes to me sticking with Ernie’s then it is what it is but if there’s something better I’d rather have it.
