Praise Report: GHS Precision Flats

[michael_t]

Well I was on the phone with a LaBella big shot once concerning some sets I received that were faulty and felt different, string to string. I asked him if I could use them string through and he said yes. This was over 5 years ago, so things may have changed.

Whatever the big shot from La Bella said won't matter to me any more as I have no plan to go back to using La Bella flats.

Thanks to you and @Linnin and your feedback, I think I'm going to deal with my OCD by tackling it head-on, meaning I'll just put up with the visual imperfection of having the excess length on the E string wrap around the post. I'm confident I'll be able to get over it soon enough.

That will be $125 dollars!

About the strings: To be honest, it would bother be as well. Not enough to not do it, but I l do ike symmetry when I can get it!

I think @nerkoids puts glue or something on the PF e string where it wraps around the post to strengthen it

For me?

Whenever the imperfection on my P bass starts to bother me, I can always look at the PWs on my new Yamaha and take a deep breath the way Mr. Miyagi taught me.

I really don't think that would be necessary. OCD or not, I'm not about to start gluing my strings.

I put it on all the strings. And it was crazy glue. And I have no regrets. Just as you won't now that you're finally on board, M.

how do the 95, 100 and 105 compare soundwise?

how do the 95, 100 and 105 compare soundwise?

i find little to no difference between the 100 and 105 tonally, tension is noticeable. 95 and 100 i find the 100 has a little more low end, and the 95 has a little more bite and top end.

Thanks, I think I'm gonna try the light set on my P

I've decided to go for the light set for my P as well. A smaller E seems to work better on my P, while the 105 would probably work better on my J.

Do you think the smaller E helps to keep the P defined?

It seems that way, specifically with flats.
I once had a chance to compare the Fender 9050L (45-60-80-100) and the 9050CL (45-60-80-105). While the 105E sounded great on my J, it tended to sound muddy on my P. The 100E sounded cleaner on the P... at least to my ears.

Swap the Tijf344 with 3025 and my first week opinion.
More stiff than Ti flat and LTF4A , but still comfort playing .
Although it tension is little higher thanTi flat, my pbass neck relief still keep in .010-.012 range.
Unbalance string to string tension compare to Ti flat. A bit tight on G string and little loose on E string, quite similar to Fender 9050L I use before.
.095 E sound much a live and clearer than .105E ( previous set M3050).
Sound get better balance from E to D, but the G still lack some thump, maybe still need to give it some time to settle in.
My comfort string action with 3025 is 2.1mm on E and 1.7mm on G without fret buzz.
