| I like the TIs. Love the way they feel but was not floored by the tone like having the TIs on a Pbass. Did not have them on for a long time so it might not be a fair trial (but the Pbass it was instant tone heaven from the start).
I tried some LaBella DT flats (extra light). Was impressed with the tone. Really liked it but the strings had some serious inconsistencies so I took them off and am waiting for replacements to arrive.
I once had a LaBella failure on the saddle when I strung through the body. Called them and an older guy who had been there as long as I've been alive said never to string through the body no matter what people say. (Even their catalog at the time said it was OK!) I may get flamed but I am convinced any tonal differences between going through the body or bridge are in the persons head not the instrument. I've tried it repeatedly and there is no noticeable difference. I'll believe it when someone posts a clip. (If there is one, its so subtle that it disappears when in a band setting.)
To through another kink in the mix, I also really like TI Superalloys on the Jazz. I would say it is as close to a flat sound from a round I'v ever heard.
My Jazz is an 07, but I can't imagine there being a great deal of difference.
