Clarky Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) Just acquired thebeat's lovely butterscotch blonde 51 P bass which plays beautifully with TI flats on. For the hell of it I ordered some Trubass strings (£22) to see if I get a really old school thump. They give that alright but they are very chunky (the E is a 115 gauge) and they aren't very fast playing (and my stuff is pretty fast). Hence I am going back to the TIs. Literally arrived this morning, put on my 51 (without any cutting down) at lunch-time, and now taken off again. [s]£17 posted is a fiver saved[/s] Actually I'll call it £15 as the yellow silks are very slightly frayed from pulling through the through-body channels (they are very fragile ) PS, they are the 'long scale' ones (for a 32-34 inch neck) - although I would caution for a string-through body like the 51 the silks slightly overlap the nut on the E and A Edited April 1, 2010 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
