My thoughts, but didn't want to take the discussion into the gutter...like that never happens. :roflmao:

You're referring to a gutter like it's a bad thing... gutters serve an important purpose after all. :) It's not like six-string basses...

I have a friend that sold his big house and moved into a cottage near the beach. He said that he needed to downsize in retirement.

Then it dawned on him that if he didn't spend it, his kids would. He sold the cottage, bought a big house on a hill overlooking the ocean, and 2 BMWs.

best laid plans…

I'm happy to have what ever is left for my kinds to spend. Different strokes I guess.

He's my first go to if he has them. It's a California thing. I buy California first for most things. if I can. Too bad I don't like 7enders more. He now has some kind of discount program for frequent customers that I guess I'm a member of.

That said, there are a couple other online sellers for strings I also use occasionally. They're all good. Amazon is a last resort.

Yes, a couple on Reverb and Strings and Beyond are all this part of the country.

TT!

Epi Silverburst. Awaiting a black PG and TR cover with chrome logos from my buddy Irv. It originally came with a black PG, but a prior owner swapped it out for a white one. Unfortunately, the white guard had different screw holes. Otherwise, this would be perfect for a clear PG, but the misplaced holes would show. I'm shallow, and proud of it.

Looks great with silver pickups, knobs and bridges.

Here's something interesting for TT. I got the Lemonbird back with Thunderbucker 66s in it. No rings because either way, they're not staying in this bass. Gotta play more and try it out at band practice, but so far I like them a lot. Not terribly unlike my TB+, but slightly less low end, better definition, and cleaner. The last thing kinda surprised me. The TB+ have more inherent grit to them, which I like. So I still love my TB+ and doubt they'll get replaced in the 2013 reverse. I would've put the 2001s in, had they not been so noisy. The RNR is fair game.
