Ha! Yes! This would a way to acquire flatwounds and not incur
the expense of a new set of strings!

I claim the record on behalf of a dear pal of mine, who was the
bass player in my first band.
The flatwound strings on his old bass have not been changed
since about 1967...!!

Walt, on account of the old strings on my Fender Precision,
comparing that washtub bass is approximately how my bass
sounded.
My bass was a 1964, I bought it as the first owner, from
Bleckert's Music in Willoughby, Ohio in 1968.
It still had the same strings on it in 1975, so the strings on
it were 11 years old!
I traded that Fender away to Willo Music in Willoughby, Ohio in
1975 in order to get a new Mosrite Bass. I was low on cash...
Sad to say, both instruments are gone away now...getting rid of
the Fender was my worst ever guitar trading mistake.
It's the one that got away...

Yes Walt, and I forgot to mention, that not only was it a pre
CBS bass, it was in a custom color, Shoreline Gold!
