Flats Vs. Rounds- Video link with sound

[RaginRog]

Okay- So I know Flats vs. Rounds has been done a million times....that's not why I'm posting this.

I found a cool video on YouTube, where a bassist posted a video, while playing the same song on his Stingray(strung with flats & rounds)

A post for the curious!

nice video and playing

Both of the strings sound good, but for the fingerstyle playing I like his flats tone.

I'm on the fence with the slapping tone

It's some random bassist(who happens to have some nice chops) I happened to come across when I was searching for some videos of Stingrays with flats.

I'm not big on the slap tone(with flats), but when it comes down to it. I'm not much of a slapper- I'm intermediate/beginner at best when it comes to slap. I primarily plays blues and rock, so the flats work well for me.
