Congrats! Always nice to hear when someone has found a partner to share their life with. Be sure to remind your new crush that we all think you're quite a catch.

Thank you, I'm very lucky, my fiancé is kind of a shy guy, but he's sweetheart and I've never been happier, he's lived with me for the past two years, life is really good.

Uh, ok then. My crush is on the wonderful PB NR Thunderbird. It would be sell a kidney time for me if that ever came up for sale.

I do appreciate Tbird players too; this one’s more to my preference:

Contemplating that it is time to put in an order to Fretnation.

I recall that someone here was giving SIT steels a go on his/her 'bird.

Any report on how they sound. Specific comparison to RS66 or other widely used string is appreciated.

I was one of them. Never got my order from Fretnation and no response to last email I sent last Saturday. I placed an order on the SIT website; took about a week to arrive. They’ve been on the ‘13 NR for a week. Pretty much got them dialed in on Sunday. I am liking them. Tone sounds “birdy” and surprisingly similar to the VP that is currently wearing nickel rounds - Slinkys. I can’t tell you how they compare to SS Rotos, other than feeling a little smoother than what I recall Rotos feeling like.

Thank you, Mike. I love a good nap (esp with the kitty), and even have a 30 min. one at work.

I have mixed feelings on the RS66. They are good, I like the clank. They break in relatively quickly and maintain. And when they go, they go fast. They are good, but I keep second guessing if there is something better.

Because I have the white bird tuned to D standard, I have been contemplating using DDTs next.

I have the DDTs on my Les Paul Junior shaped object tuned to D. They are very growly on that bass!

They banned DDT in FL. Or are we talkin' 'bout sumpin' else.

I use to use RS66's, and I found DR Lowrider SS to be comparable in sound, and smoother feeling than the roto's.

I find the DR's keep the sound I like longer. I like the RS's when they mellow, but that mellow dies pretty quickly in my experience.

Good Luck!

Actually, that is really good to know. Maybe DDTs will be next on the white bird; the 115-55 set. I like them (BEAD) on the EB3, but not sure that translates to the 'bird.

Don't get me started on DDT...

Jake "the snake" was such a great wrestling personality.
