Please Help.... Question about TI Flats.

Sign in to disble this ad
So...

If you were the set of TI flats that I took off my P bass 3 months and put on a pile of magazines in my bedroom, where would you be hiding?

I cannot find them. I've looked everywhere!

Anyone seen them?

;-)

Look for metal things that curled up like spaghetti?

That is a tough one though... They wrap up pretty compact but would be noticed especially walking around barefoot and stepping on the tuning peg side...

GOOD LUCK!

Yes. They are currently on a bass in my house. I cannot fully disclose who I am, but I was part of a secret mission on a black ops team from the Pentagon. We were searching for a species of shape-shifting aliens who have made their way into the Europeon Union, who plan to conquer Europe and turn it into a theme park. We dispatched the aliens after a brief firefight, and rid your apartment building (flats?) of all evidence of our and the aliens presence there.
After the clean-up I found the strings. I figured since you threw them in a pile of magazines you had no further use of them. My most sincere apologies.
By the way, I found your left-over tofu burgers to be most excellent, but they needed just a little more salt.

I've lost a bunch of stuff in Amsterdam too - most noticeably, brain cells

They are always in the last place you look.

I thought of that. I tried to imagine the order of places I would look and then tried the last one first.

Didn't work.

The worst thing is: I gave up trying to find the TI flats and took a really old set of flats (maybe 5 years old) off a fretless I have. The fretless has a 2+2 headstock and the P bass is obviously a 4 in a row... I went through a phase of cutting strings a little (to get 3 perfect winds around the peg). The G was cut too short to reach the peg on the P bass.

AAARRRGGH!

Gonna have to buy a new set of TI flats and wait another 5 years to get my P bass sound back! ;-)
