"Bird & Board" could totally be a band name. Or a restaurant.

Just thought I'd share incase anyone is in the market as it seems these are pretty rare nowadays.

 

[BklynKen]

Are those tapes?

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

lethal combo for TT

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

The thick ones with maple syrup or the thin ones with lemon juice and sugar?

the latter would be Crêpe Suzette...not pancakes dear lord!..

Uwe from LBO put me onto this, Jeff Pilson (whom I've always liked a lot) and friends, I love this stuff, turn it way up!

Gave me goosebumps and almost tears, no kidding!
This is current music, eh?, but it sounds and feels 100% legit. Thanks!

 

[GonePlaid]

'Cept my bank account.(sigh)

Cute story... 3hrs !

Ya hafta. Ya wonts regrets it.

Watched it as an hour and half to kill until teatime documentary and it was perfect.

Nope. Pancakes.

Crepe is French for pancake (including the fat kind). Suzettes are the orange ones with three dry (some call it triple sec) and so aren't always the best breakfast choice.

Classic pairing.



Thunderbird and foot.

Either, but as @fasterpussycat might say, the limey ones. Weirdly I have mine with salt.

You're right. That is weird.

Hard to since I've been using these long enough, but they have that great raw metallic sound I like in the RS66, though maybe a little fuller-sounding. Similar tension from what I remember. I find they feel nicer than RS66, especially when moving string-to-string. I'd be perfectly happy if I could only use RS66, but I like these more. And they're supposed to last longer, though I get plenty of life from the RS66. Just recently I was noticing my sound getting darker and finally realized I hadn't changed strings in five months. I'd definitely recommend trying them if you like SS rounds. After trying them, I was finally satisfied enough that I no longer had any interest in trying others. For reference, I never liked any DR I tried. I find them too laid-back sounding; not enough balls.

Thanks. I will have to give these a try. I have RS66 on my white bird right now.

Please. I look forward to your impressions. I don't think anyone else here has tried them.
