You have a really great collection of Leo era G&L's, and that L-1500 seems to be no exception. I own two basses and have never changed the strings on either of them. One is a 90's jazz bass that was was given to me by a friend . It sat in a closet for years. I bought new strings for it but have never got around to changing them. I think they are Rotosounds. The other one is a 2012 P-bass with one of the best feeling necks that I have tried so far. I go through phases of intense bass practice and then it's back to guitar most of the time. What makes you prefer flat wounds? Explain it like your talking to a 5 year old I'm thinking I should try a set . I play the P-bass the most.
I use 9 's on my G&L guitars as that is the gauge I prefer . The only major difference I ever noticed with strings was on my Gibson acoustic , which is an Advanced jumbo. It is a true cannon with 13's but hard on the fingers when bending so I went down to a light gauge for better playability. The medium gauge were Gibson masterbilts. The light gauge were dadario , and I had some dadario bluegrass strings ( medium top, light bottom ). I just put some John Pearse strings on it that I am liking so far.
I always keep count of how many kids we get . We had 144 this year before I shut it down. I honestly don't know where they all come from. They must drive in from other neighbourhoods . I can still hear firecrackers as I post this. I used to love all that stuff when. I was a kid. Halloween was my favorite time of year for sure. I always ate my candy too fast.
