Yeah, smooth and easy on the fingers. The wrap is flat so the outside is smooth to the touch.

Cheap solid state pawn shop combo.
Flatwounds will completely change the sound, have higher tension, and a bit more pain in the ass for slapping. I don't personally
care for them on fretted instruments. If I want to tame the brightness I go with nylon wound. YMMV.

If you have an FRFR, I recommend having a look at the Trace Elliot Transit-B.
Never liked flatwounds, especially on fretless, flatwounds sound dull and lifeless IMO.

i'm a full on kemper goon now. the bass sounded pretty good through studio monitors so I'll probably just stick with that for a bit. Building a bass tube amp might be fun though, just for the sake of doing something new

No flats dude. Just don’t.
Get a Comfort Strapp if you plan on standing with it for long.

Flats rule for anything but chug. Flats on a P-Bass is the most legend bass arrangement ever.

I like to be able to get the metallic "spark" on fretted basses ( DD Verni is a good example of the sound) from roundwounds.It's funny, because that's where I do like them
Definitely agree, mostly dull, but have their uses.
Fretless is more mellow, so the roundwounds give it more mid "snap"

That’s complete bullshit. Unless by chug you mean everything besides MoTown, jazz or classic rock.

Ric 4003 is still my favorite bass, but my Ibanez fretless 5-string is versatile, sounds great and is a blast to play.
Finally selling my original Steinberger XL-2 bass, from '88, that I purchased new. Not in a hurry tho

It's the best bass string for both kinds of music, rhythm and blues.

If you can't get a P-Bass with flats to sit in the mix there is something wrong with the rest of your rig.

You clearly aren’t a bass player.
Post a clip of your band doing Down Rodeo with a p bass and flats.
