TI Flats on a StingRay5?

Who's tried this and how does it compare to rounds? I've got Jazz Flats on my old G&L and it's got vintage tone for days, but that's really what the bass is good at. The SR5 is another beast entirely. I've been happy with various DR rounds onthe SR5, but I really dig the TI.

Any specific descriptions would be much appreciated. It's an $80 set of strings so I'm trying get some descriptions first - sound clips wouldbe even better....

Thanks!

Thanks for the clip! This was very helpful. I play almost exclusively fingerstyle, but I can hear the mids and highs doing their SR thing even with broken in strings and a flat EQ. I;m still on the fence, but at least I'm not sutck purely guessing anymore!

Let me know if I can hear anything from the record yet. I'll be doing a few projects this spring that will involve recording as well as some more "hi-fi" gigs, which played a part in my decision to come back to this bass in the first place.

By any chance do I have your old black pearl SR5 pick gaurd?
