Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I prefer growl in my flats instead of just thump, so I use the Fender 9050CL set. It has gauges that are closer to RIC gauges: 45-60-80-105. They are the strings that converted me from a 30+ year roundwound player. They have it all: mellow when you want it to be, growly when you need it to be ...

I haven't heard of DR legends either. I've currently got LaBella Deep Talkin' Flats on my fretless 4003, had Chromes on it for a while. Not sure which I like best yet...

Greeting CJ,

I did try La Bella's for a bit but they just weren't my cup of tea.

Welcome, Rudolfo! :D

I have never tried the DR Legends flats, but have used D'Addario Chromes and TI Jazz Flats on various Rick over the years, all with excellent sound. What kind of tone are you seeking?

Thanks Jeff,

I did use Chromes and TI's on my hofner and do love the tone on both, Chromes ...

Good Evening fellow Rickenbackers,

just joined this great forum and i am expecting my first RIC 4003 bass in Mapleglo soon, big upgrade from a Hofner and im afraid i will most likely hang the 500/1 for a while lol will put up pictures once i receive it.

one thing has anyone tried the DR Legends ...
