Flats on a Bongo HS?

[Eggman]

I am thinking about putting flats on my DD Bongo 4 HS. Good idea or not? Opinions please. Has anyone tried half-rounds?

"Good idea."

 

[TheDirtyMoocher]

give it a shot, if it doesnt work you can take them off and put them on something else or sell them.

Yeah good idea......... and you can wear you bass like a figure skater and pluck your eyebrows while you are at it.

Asking Jack for tone questions is like asking steven hawking to be a judge on dancing with the stars.

Awesome...ha.

Flats are the only strings I have on my Bongos.

Flats stick to your fingers

its only strings. Go for it!

I know for a fact that a B string makes a pretty good whip, so if you don't like them you will always have that

Got some flats sitting here for that very purpose as soon as my DD Bongo 4 HS arrives.

All my EBMMs wear flats, including my Bongo 5H. Go for it!

I can highly recommend EB Group Is - my string of choice for years was F brand 9050Ms, but they don't do fivers. I like the EBs even better.

Guess who is digging his DD Bongo 4HS with Flats?

ME

With the Flats I am really starting to enjoy the tone of the Single coil - just like that wise man Chuck said.
