I [i]may[/i] be doing a bit of Maruszczyk-shaped trigger-pulling in the next couple of days. We'll see...

[quote name='Basszilla' timestamp='1447857751' post='2910985'] So...I think it's a toss up between Labellas and TI, leaning toward the Labellas. [/quote] Just in case it saves you a few quid... I'm a long-time user of the LaBella FLs. They're fab, but to me they're interchangeable with the significantly cheaper GHS Precision Flats. Both great strings.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1447845905' post='2910842'] No, but I like to hear the notes.. [/quote] Me too. Flats are great for that.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1447807064' post='2910661'] most sound like you're using rope or something, plenty of thud and nothing else. [/quote] Have you been listening to them whilst wearing ear muffs?

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1447795017' post='2910547'] Are the Lakland ones now just GHS in a GHS packet? Purple silk not black silk and not repackaged? [/quote] Yep - just GHS's in GHS packets.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1447793535' post='2910514'] GHS Precision Flats 3050M are OK strung through-body. But through-body is not always a good idea with (some) flats. [/quote] ^^^ these. About £21 shipped from Lakland. (My boring stock answer - sorry)

Constant efforts to make stuff sound better is fine by me. Buy it, or don't. Your choice.

[quote name='tonyclaret' timestamp='1447700869' post='2909648'] Great tone and groove going on here. What's the head? [/quote] Cheers.. it was a dep so it was all a bit seat'o'me pants. Good fun, though. The head is a Mesa Walkabout - all you're hearing there is my backline. No PA support (unlike everything else, including the drums).

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1447615633' post='2908955'] You've got to think that someone dropped the ball there anyway, even without taking into consideration the Paris attacks. [/quote] Absolutely. It was never anything other than a terrible idea.

GHS Precision Flats. £21-ish delivered from Lakland. And they're fab.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1447584645' post='2908625'] Well then he'll learn quickly which bands like it and those that don't Si [/quote] His style suits the band. Like I say, he's clearly talented but. I'm just surprised the take used in the OP was OK'd, given that his timing is all over the shop at times. It's jarring.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1447584227' post='2908617'] If you can't discern the difference between how he might play on a gig vs how he's playing on a clinic style drum promo, then give up YouTube and stick with your live gig dvds! [/quote] As I mentioned earlier, he plays like this with his band...

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1447508675' post='2908166'] That's why I'm thinking about it! I'm wondering if rosewood is lighter than maple, or whether block inlays weigh less that the wood they carve out to fit them! And if a jazz neck shape, being slimmer, would save a few ounces! [/quote] To be fair, I asked for a weight of around 8.5lbs. So if you specify 7lbs, it'll probably come out at around 5.5lbs :-D

Mine is 7.2lbs.

Yep - it's a Q3.

Still lovin' mine... http://youtu.be/i03gdUnWrrE

Here's a clip from my gig last night of my tweeterless S212. I get enough highs off it for my needs, but YMMV. http://youtu.be/i03gdUnWrrE

I don't regret mine one jot - I'm still in the honeymoon period six months later. And I'll probably get another soon. My poor, dusty, '71P. :-(

If you can ship it, [url="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002025970885&sk=photos"]Dave Wilson[/url] is one of the best in the biz. If you're not on Facebook, let me know and I'll hook you up.

[quote name='Kirky' timestamp='1447242080' post='2905991'] Mine has just arrived...not posted photos for a while so let's hope this works... S212 without tweeter with Oxblood cloth. [url="https://flic.kr/p/AmzTbP"][/url] [/quote] Beauty! Sorry to hear Tommy's been non-responsive. That's unusual.

Ah, man. RIP.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1447023297' post='2904285'] ... and in your case, regardless of the power unit used - what would it do that the walkabout doesn't? [/quote] That's a very good point. I guess not - I'd be changing for the sake of it, really.

Probably sensible. The logic for me going without stemmed from my previous experience with tweeters - on my Bergs, for example, dialling out the tweeters left the crossover in the circuit, and I always felt it affected the natural roll-off of the drivers. Whether it's the same with the TKS I don't know, but as there's no crossover in there, I know the drivers are getting the full range.

Same here.
