SIT Power Flats

[p0k]

i just put some of these on my g&L SB-2. The first thing i noticed was that they were super grippy to my fingers. does anyone know if this will wear off over time? i don't know if i can deal with it if it doesn't.

i love the tone though!

I haven't tried those, yet.

I just put some different flats on my SB-2. I had TI Jazz Flats on there for a while. Very cool strings, but just didn't dig the low tension.

I put some Sadowsky flats on there. Really digging them. They seem just as slippery as the TIs.

What's the tone like on those SITs?

its pretty close to the tone of rounds, but slightly more mellow. they are half rounds or whatever, so they aren't as smooth as normal flats.

Came across this yesterday

These are from Tommy Shannon - played bass for Stevie Ray Vaugh and Johnny Winter.

This is something the great Willie Weeks told me in 1966. I will never forget it. He told me one night that "It always seems like the other cat has something you don't." So don't compare yourself with others- there will ALWAYS be someone below and someone above. Just play what comes out of you. It always works.
