What kind of music do you use your Ric bass with flatwounds

[iiipopes]

Fender 9050CL steel flats. They do it all from Friday night to Sunday morning. They growl when you want them to; they are mellow when you need them to; they are consistent from string to string and up the neck; they don't clank; they don't thud out; they are economical and they last forever. They changed me from a roundwound guy. They are the best flats I've seen in over 35 years of playing bass. They're the only strings I gig regularly with now. I'm still on my first set from almost two years ago.

Are the Fender 9050CL OK to put on my 1975 4001? I have TI flats on at the moment but have read the 9050CL have a much higher tension. Don't want to over-stress the neck or increase the tail lift from about the 2mm showing at the moment.

90's-00's synthy dance pop (La Bouche, etc)

Now this is interesting...are you doing just covers or are you doing some radical to those songs? We used to play Haddaway´s "What is love" as a long jam...kinda squeezed it through a "Grateful Dead filter"...or at least we tried.

Answer to original question; I use my Rickenbacker 4003 with Labella 760FL´s to play mainly blues rock but I use it also for any other kind of music I happen to play (mostly, but not limited to; acid rock, prog rock, doom, heavy rock). It works perfectly for every kind of music.
