Actually on topic(!)sort of, has anybody strung their TBird with GHS Brite Flats? And what'd ya think. (I can't use EBCF's on the EB-0. Too long to the taper).

"Think that's bad? You should've seen the FENDER!"
IDK. 32 y/o? That's enuff to qualify for a "vintage" license plate in FL.
It's a "z". Not sure about finish, I might do it multiple times just for funzies
It appears to have been abused pretty badly (this screencap only shows a bit), so I'm thinking it'll be perfect for this. Doesn't really matter too much if it works or not...
(...but I'll probably try & fix it anyway...

As '88s they're quite different from the current ones, I don't need any, but interesting none the less.
VINTAGE | meaning in the Cambridge English Dictionary
of high quality and lasting value, or showing the best and most typical characteristics of a particular type of thing, especially from the past
I think "vintage" can be argued for.
The explorer style. A candy colour would be cool (and 80s).It's a "z". Not sure about finish, I might do it multiple times just for funzies

If the right opportunity presented, I would get a V bass. Completely impractical, but so 80s hair metal.
Sure it's the taper and not that they are getting tough on the fingers? It's OK to admit. It's the first step in recovery...and you can join the special club and can use the secret sign!
I've played about everything GHS has made but not those. I know even among GHS fans they get hardly any love and disappoint most GHS fans. I understand they tend to feel a little grabby like the D'Addario's ground wound. I do love GHS Precision Flats. Going a little brighter would be Pressurewounds. Not sure about the lengths off the top of my head, however.
How are they different?

I don't have pictures of the later versions, they're lost in the miasma of Photobucket but most of them are a twin coil design. This shot is one taken from my '89, here it's been potted into an N.O.S. '76 pup cover......Oh, and model trains!

Bummed here, I did get to see Uriah Heep with John Wetton on the bass after Gary Thain's death.
You could transport those pickups on your trains.
Any idea how the sound/tone differed?
That's the one! GonePlaid knows he would love to join the club and have stars fly from his fingers like this. I guess it would still work with a hat.

@PillO As president, do you want to respond to this thread?
EB Cobalt Flats players – how often do you change them?
But he may have had something else in mind than what we might be thinking.
