Think someone slipped on some tort....
I flatly refuse to believe that to be a precision statement.

As long as we are discussing Beatles covers...
Hey I won something! SIT strings posted a naming contest for some new strings in beta mode, I was one of the 10 picked for a free set, if they use my name idea I get a years supply. Some of the other winners had multiple names submitted and I just submitted one. I wonder how that affects my chances?
Either way, the beta strings are only in 45-105 and I need some drop c strings, so they are sending me a custom set of SIT power steel, which I had been planning to buy from BSO soon.
They are going right on one of the tbirds, has anyone used those strings before? I tend to favor steel, but all I have in heavy gauge has been nickel.

If I add a 5th string do I get 20% more bass experience or does that only happen with flats?
Ha that was funny!

I won a set from them last year that I still haven't used. I think they've been going out of their way not to pick my amazing answers for more, and I won't be surprised if it's my name they end up using on the new strings so they don't have to pay out a year's supply.
Honestly all I know about them is that David Ellefson has been using them for as far back as I can remember. He has a signature model Kelly Bird with Jackson, so they must be good strings.
Good thing you change strings daily, 365 sets!
Some here would only manage a month's string changes out of 360 sets
Still no word back from the Australian importer. The more time the more I get to save gig money for buying them.
I am thinking maybe a black one AND a white one.
Haven't seen a pic yet of the black ones (or the white ones) yet and I am assuming the hardware would be the same as the Sunburst ones.
If so, they would come chromed out. If not it sort of defeats the purpose.

Were you one of the 10(11) winners of the free set this time? Since most strings are pretty awesome when uber fresh, it is hard to tell if strings are good based on endorsed artists, since they are typically using a fresh set of strings at each show, maybe every other show at most. I would play whatever if I had a free supply
well I haven't won yet, and technically the winner gets new strings for the rest of the year, my guess is 10 sets, one per month. All I know is I have one set of custom guage power steels coming. There are 10 other winners, and some of them had supplied several names, so my chances are probably 1 in 30. My hopes are not up very high. It would be nice though.

And there are others who one set would be a lifetime supply.
Saw a 60s Vox teardrop bass advertised with the 'original strings' ... 'never tuned' a few years ago.
