T-Bird Studio Strings

[n!k]

I use the heavy gauge Rotosound flatwounds on my Thunderbird, which means I get to have the unusual silk colorings of Herr Harris' favorite football club.

I just acquired a TB Studio 5-string last month and had Mike Lull do the set-up - the intonation was way off before and he just transformed it with D'addario Chromes.  Esp.  the B-string which was "clangy" sounding compared to the other four,  with flats on there the B's Fundamental is much clearer.

 I'm going way out on a limb here, probably towards blasphemey ( or at the least, heresy ) While I agree with several others that RotoSound should be the string, I find them so infuriatingly inconsistent that I use F*nd*r stainless in a 45-105 gauge. Strings, like most things musical are sooo subjective that it really does depend on your ears, and touch and how they " feel " . My advice, buy a different set for the next several string changes, eventually you will find the " right " set.

Of course, your humble administrator can change the post requirements for each level and also the name. 

Maybe a newbie will become a Seafoam Green Member, working his way up to Chrome Member....heh heh.

Just remember Seafoam Green is a F*nd*r colour ( with all respect ) but is that poly or nitro?

I'm ducking!!

Your username is Bass VI and you can't spell out Fender?

Just start newbies out at "EB-0" and work them up to "EB-4L" ?

Henry J. would probably sue us. And I'm only half-kidding.

Besides, we've got to consider the non-Gibson contingent.

Only out of respect, I'm still a Seafoam Green member! I would change my username to EB-6 if I owned one..........................Hmmmmm.....or built one

Well what about:


Squier Precision (0 - 50 posts)
Epiphone EB3 (50 - ...etc.)
Fender Jazz
Gibson Thunderbird
Rickenbacker 4005
Warwick Buzzard

Or so.

And on-topic:

I play mostly roundwounds. I only have d'Addario Chromes on the Burns. Is it me or do steel strings feel awful? I like the feel of nickel strings much better. And the sound too.

On my basses mostly fairly cheap d'Addario's or Fender 7250s.

I don't think anyone's mentioned TI Jazz rounds - I loved those on my TB!

Newbies should be called "Kalamasuzies".
