Thunderbird Club

[icefly]

I know a guy who like GHS Precision flats, has a very old set on a P bass, I've never tried them, they're supposed to be thumpy.

Use and dig them, on PBass.

I got a set of those-once. Only strings I've ever put on, tried, took off, and immediately threw away.
Tweetchie zone.

To clarify, I bought that set of Brite Flats to put on my Epi EB-0 to cut down on 'boomy'. Wasn't what I was looking for and being short scale, I couldn't use them on anything else.

A long, long time ago. Dean Markley made ground wounds.
I had them on a '71 Precision.
Had that bass a long time, and those strings stayed on till i sold the bass.
I've never found any ground wound that matched the DM's to this day.

I used to use half rounds on a fretless bass, I think D'Addario made them, they sounded almost like flat wounds though after a few weeks of me pounding the poor things.

The DM's i mentioned really held their tone and freshness.
But i hadn't fully come out of my alien shell as a teen.

I don't know if I ever tried those, I used to use Blue Steels though.

To my limited knowledge.
I don't think they're made anymore.

They're still available, I haven't used them for some years though.

Prolly not a great idea to say "bits and pieces" when talking about Thunderbirds.

Oh, I'm still in my alien shell.
