Thunderbird Club

A Queen's work is never done! While I of course will enjoy an entire day of this silliness I would rather be playing a show tonight, instead we'll be safe, careful and mindful of the many that have passed this year.

And so today, we come to the $ad end of the GHS Brite Flats(on the Epi EB-0)experiment. So as to not completely put them down, I will say that the Pelham blue silks were pretty. Didn't like the feel or the sound. First set I've ever tossed as soon as I removed them. Oh, well. LSTYD.
I had a set of D'Addario 1/2 rounds laying around that I took off my LPB2/5 , so I installed the E-A-D-G from those. Much better. Tone and feel.
What did you not like about the GHSBFs? And how do the D'Addario 1/2 rounds differ?

the Brite Flats are half rounds too right?
 
That's so wrong. No Thunderbird.

At work? I already caused a scene at the local Krispy Kreme getting doughnuts for the staff this AM, carrying a Bird in would have been a bit over the top.

I have LaBella DTFs on my EBO and love them.
 
If you’re punching in endlessly, you don’t know the material!
There is something to be said for getting it done in a continuous take, but I’d much rather track in my music room than my driveway:D
I have to agree. This album we just released, we recorded all in our garage (two of us live together, and converted the garage to a studio/practice space), but inside of punching everything, I'd do two or three whole run throughs of the song (or as many as needed), and then pick the best take. The guitar player/engineer asked why not just punch in afterwards if there's a flub, but I prefer to be able to get the whole song in a single run, seems to just have a better flow, even if I could technically play a certain part better or whatever just punching in.
