Geo!, the one in the middle! Please bring if possible.
I should point out that I'm not the least bit 'sick of' the EBCFs. The set I just took off had been on for ~1 1/2 years and had gotten kindaI shoulda shined a light on the purple silks.Still liking the SIT's so far. Next gigs 6/10+11, so them's the 'acid tests'.
. Thought I'd give the SITs a shot. They're sounding real good through my 'practice amp'(see pic). I may hafta f---* with the EQ on the gigging amp. Hopefully, I'll get over it.

How is the EQ different? I guess what's different in tone between the two strings?I should point out that I'm not the least bit 'sick of' the EBCFs. The set I just took off had been on for ~1 1/2 years and had gotten kinda

wonder if you get same results boiling flats as with rounds….I should point out that I'm not the least bit 'sick of' the EBCFs. The set I just took off had been on for ~1 1/2 years and had gotten kinda

They'd prolly 'flounder' around in the pot.
Is that what happened when you took PillO's Scotch advice?
Golly!
Time for revelation: only now did I realize what EBCF is.
Until then I thought it was some tuning.
Holy Moses!
I haven't hooked up the gigging amp(Rumble 100)at the house since it'll be different at the room we're playing Friday night; then really different at the restaurant/lounge we'll be in Saturday night. I'll be using the Rumble 40 and possibly the Epi EB-0(tight space-I don't wanna bash the exploding HS against the wall. Or a customer)
It's also kinda unfair to compare them to the 'sickly' EBCFs. There's a lot of clarity or presence that had sorta faded away from the Cobalts.
I'm not good with them either, which is why I figured if I knew it surely everybody did!
Most I have to look up. Just not hip and cool any more. I used to be cool, but lost virtually all of it somewhere along the line. I don't know where or when, but I certainly did.
Sorry. I/we had gotten so used to the shortened version here. Ernie Ball Cobalt Flats. I'd be willing to bet if you went in a music store and asked for EBCFs, you'd get a blank stare.
Don't the customers pay for the experience of being impaled by an ejected headstock?
I started on rounds but around 2005 I began using mostly flats for a number of years, but have begun to rekindle my love for some rounds and SS in particular--and I'm not the angry piano type. Just doesn't work for what I do.One of many reasons this alien is a flat lover.
I haven't played rounds in years, and have no intention of doing so.
They might figure it's included with the rather pricey meals.
Yeah. I'll sometimes say "I'm hip(not really)."I'm not good with them either, which is why I figured if I knew it surely everybody did!
Never heard of it for flats, but I'm sure someone has tried it. Since there are gaps in the winding with EBCFs it just might work.
It's a Jazz tuning....
OK! That explains why I generally don't like the sound of a "J".It's a Jazz tuning....
Got a compilation of clips from our residency last month, lots of the Epi, plus an additional Gibson thrown in (and the 8-string monster too). It's Thunderbird Thursday, and I'm off to another load-in.
