Bridgehouse Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 [quote name='ThePapabull' timestamp='1489783526' post='3259897'] Thanks all...... I had to make a decision and I,ve gone with the TI's from Strings Direct. said it earlier but this forum is brilliant ..... really appreciate everyones contributions ...... However I know feel the (real) need to start a new string related topic....... [/quote] You'll love them. Don't forget you may need to tweak the truss rod with lower tension strings as you may get a slight back bow with the TIs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisanthony1211 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I find set up with TI flats particularly troublesome, almost not enough tension to get the relief I want even with the truss fully loosened off, great sounding string though.

[/quote] I have that issue on my 74 P a bit - it seems to prefer Chromes. The 64 P is def. under truss rod tension with the TIs, but it seems to be really straight naturally. It's an odd one, for sure, some basses suit low tension, some don't.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
