Surely there must be a law on the books somewhere outlawing flats on a T-bird.
well, I didn't want to upset the balance of nature (just yet, anyway), so I slapped on the Hybrid Slinkys.
Better than stock, but not by a whole heck of a lot. I can just tell that there's a real beast under there just waiting for the right string.
When these wear out (or probably before that), I'm going to try D'Addario XL Chromes (I think)...or DR Lowriders.
Someone suggested Rotosound 66's...I may have to give them a another try. I slapped them on a Fretless Jazz once, and I hated them instantly.
This is one of my favorite things about learning to play bass: there are lots of factors that go into making your sound, and a lot of it is trial and error, which can be fun (and expensive).
