deaky Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hi all, Got a bit of a dilemma here Iam having my MIA Fender Deluxe Precision set up and I am wondering whether or not to stick a new set of strings on it. I currently have TI flats which are fab but a bit I find them slightly "loose". I like the look of the Rotosound Jazz 77 strings I play in a christian group so looking for a nice smooth silky sound. Appreciate any thoughts Deaky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 TI's with a bit more tension..? Try the lighter-gauge La Bella flats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed them, and they told me to contact the Bass Gallery... dunno what they have in stock, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate any thoughts Deaky[/quote] Roto 77s are similar in sound to TIs but brighter and rougher in feel - if you want smooth sound and feel, I recommend GHS precisions.
