Thunderbird Club

I bought my 2014 T-Bird from them and found them easy to deal with, FWIW. I asked for additional pictures and a neck measurement and they did it with no hesitation.
I guess the worst they can say is no.
I’m going to ask the US border folks if there are any issues with bringing an instrument back if I need to return it.
 
After all those years of using RS66s, I'm trying to remember the last set I had. They went on really bright, to the extent they were making that 'wick wick' sound and then went dead really quickly.

Switching to nickels was a big improvement.

I remember RS66’s exactly the way you described, BUT this set were not bright at all. Surprisingly muted for a brand no set of Rotos. The nickel Rotos I had were much better, though I doubt I’ll get those again either. Pretty good strings though, but for nickel, I’ve been well pleased with BassBurners

The Bass Burners sound the same as when they went on. Our man in Florida is right about their longevity.

They do seem to last a bit longer than most rounds. LoRiders last a long time, but that’s SS

So he's the "Official String Tester"?

Ha! No he is not! It’s just I’ve only been playing ‘Birds for 6-7 months now and when I got my first one, I just wanted to try a few different types of strings. Discovered a few fun facts along the way. But that’s just what I think. Don’t mean anyone else should or would agree once the bass is in their hands :)
