Beedster Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Anyone know if it's alright to string TI Jazz Flats through the body? Never had much luck with La Bella flats, and my new Fender RBIV is crying out to get rid of its current rounds. Having paid quite a lot for the TIs, I don't want the E string going before I've even played it![/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Cheers[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]C[/font][/color] Quote
2x18 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I have always strung my Mustangs through the body with Ti Flats ( Med scale ) Chris and never had any problems! --- I also had a Custom Shop Classic Jazz that was also shod through the body with Ti Flats long scale! Will. Quote
Old Horse Murphy Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I asked the same question a while back Chris and the consensus was a big "yes". As a result I've done it on 2 basses without any issue** ** this statement does not act as a warranty or any form of guarantee for the robustness of Thomastik Infeld bass strings and the author is in no way liable for any failure of the strings.

dannybuoy Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Strung em through the body on my P Bass, survived the last 3 years just fine! They're a bit more flexible than most flats so less prone to breaking with the sharp angle. Quote

EssentialTension Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I did once break a TIJF A string at the bridge while it was strung through the body on a P bass. However it was a one off and I must have done 70 or so gigs with those strings. It's safe enough. Quote
Beedster Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 Many thanks guys, although I'll sue the lot of you if I snap one Quote
Telebass Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 I've put them on everything! No issues. Quote
