I'm hard pressed to find much difference between LTFs and Tis. I mean, there might just be a bit more growl out of the Tis, but it's very hard for me to distinguish. So for less $, I prefer the LTFs. I have the Tis on 2 of my "lifer" basses, my JPJ Fender Jazz, and my Sire 5-string P bass. oh, and I'm currently experimenting with Pyramids on my Spector, and they are nice, but I'm still preferring the LFTs or Tis.

It's not that bad, who looks at the back anyways? The white lines are glare from lighting, the streaks I circled. Wish I had the $$ LOL, however I want that same bass with a matching cherryburst headstock

Its not hard to slot into a used one for the same money or less. Sure its the back but for top dollar I would get one that looks better. Just my personal opinion on that.

Ya if I'm dreaming and it doesn't have a matching headstock, I'm getting this one. Although the headstock on this one looks great as is. I don't play 5 strings anyways so I'd want a 4.

WOW!

Note: I don't typically go for gold hardware but I have been coming around in certain situations and this one is one of those times.

Not to be boring or trying anyone's patience,but here is picture of I think 2008 Lakland Daryl Jones neck I had for the project I just put together. Makes me wonder where the original body is now.

For what it’s worth, I have a set of LaBella Deep Talkin’ Flats that came on my 55-64 that I liked so much, I kept them. I was going to swap them for a set of GHS Precision Flats but they sounded great, have very low tension, and felt very comfortable to play.

I had Precision flats on my 55-60 and tried a set n my old MIK/Bart 55-02 but ended up pulling them off for various reasons.

how do they compare?
Click to expand...

mostly the same. the Black label flats were legendary, there were Blue (nickel) ones available back then, as well. Now the blues are the only kind available. Not always available, whereas the Labella LTFs seem to always be available when I need them. So I've used those the most in the past 5-6 years.
