Hi everyone!
I'm looking for flatwound strings for an acoustic bass I recently shifted to fretless. Flatwounds are easy to find... but not in bronze or phos bronze... Also, I'd like to find some light gauge, like 80-30, to tune it higher.

Thanks
Francis

Never say never, but I doubt they exist. only ever seen nickel, chrome or tapewound. All of which would be fine if you must have flats, but you will have reduced volume compared to rounds.
