Funny, almost polar opposites to my bright stainless steel strings.

I think they probably sound better through an SS rig - but as always, I could be wrong.
Agreed on both points.
But, these are the type of TB+‘s
that should be in a TBird.
Anyone with one of these will know what I’m talking about.
I know I’m possibly over stepping here V.

An ACC stack does just fine with them.I think they probably sound better through an SS rig - but as always, I could be wrong.
GHS Precision Flats (Old school thump) were sounding very pleasing before the SITS.
I need to make a new nut for my V so I can try those SIT strings.
I hadn’t seen this one. Very cool!
They’re each awesome in their own way.
Or he went to the same ACME School of Stage Persona as the Ox…
either way, that was bada$$.

I've always liked those strings. Some think they are too stiff - but that's why I like them.

So many good songs have been played to death. Once removed from them over a period of time (years) - they can be appreciated for what they were which was well written/performed songs.
Love me some Berry. As much as I love the live versions, none of them captured the bass like the studio version. Not my favorite bass tone, but I love it otherwise (the whole song, not just ggd bass).

I like these as well, they're a bit woody/wooly and hot in a good way and it would be interesting to put a set of them in a Thunderbird - I may have to do a Youtube with mine, I don't play that bass enough ( I don't seem to get as much time to play the bass at all lately, busy) maybe in part because it's not as comfy as a Bird when you're sitting down. If I stand up, it hangs perfectly........TLDR; first world problem, rock on!
I just thought “San Francisco” was a bit too cheesy/sappy. But it worked anyway, as a seriously hooky pop song. The hooker next door.

Bass sounds damn good to my ears. I saw them in about '75 in KC/MO. Bay Area band "The Sons of Champlin" opened for them. I was a big fan of TSoC and expressly went to see them. Hung out with them in their green room post show. Those were the days.

As Mike says “tweetchie zone”
It’s an example of a decent modern song that just needs the right energy. We jammed that tonight and it sounded great right away.
That’s of my favourite songs. I tried to learn it about 10 years ago. I’ve been thinking about taking another run at it.
