TI Flats on Amazon - what a deal!

[Moogmelt]

I'm sure you all have seen this before, but wanted to express my excitement.
Wanted to give TI flats a try since there is so much love for them here and out in the wild. Price has been preventing me doing so until yesterday.

Sure enough, $50 a set shipped Prime, almost half of what retailers charge.
I thought, there has to be a catch; ripoffs maybe?

Nope, they arrived today (the yellow packaging no less), and as far as I can tell, are the real deal, same part no and everything. Glad I snagged two sets, curious how these will fare from my beloved Sunbeams and EB Cobalt flats.

great deal - let us know what you think of them!

 

[Yahboy]

Absolutely great deal!

 

[2saddleslab]

Good deal on great strings that can last over a decade.

Could you share a link? I can't find them.
Thanks!

Looks like they’re 57 now but still a great deal. Will report back when I slap some on a bass. Deciding which one should get em first? My AVRI 63 P or CS P bass? Hmmmm.

 

[Killing Floor]

Yep. Sometimes there are a couple folks who sell them for around fiddy. I bought 3 sets about a year ago. Guess what, still waiting for the need to change. Even at full price they’re worth it because they last as long as any 10 sets.

I've been using TI's for years and have them on several basses. I bought a set on Amazon a few months ago for just over $60 - they were completely legit. Anything less than $60 is a deal indeed.

The good news is well is these should last you 10+ years.
Enjoy!

$50 a set shipped Prime

Yeah great, still twice as much as all other strings.

... curious how these will fare from my beloved Sunbeams and EB Cobalt flats.

The latter two are my favorites, so please let us know how they compare.

 

[muggsy]

That’s a great deal. I have TI flats on four basses. The set on my fretless is over 15 years old and still going strong.

 

[Winton]

Yeah great, still twice as much as all other strings. .

Still not bad if you use them for 10+ years. Fifty dollars is nothing if you use anything for over a decade.

I got a month-old used pair of Thomastik flats for $20. Best deal ever.

They're floppy, and odd feeling. Sound alright though.

Hopefully you get strings, and not an accordion accessory because they posted the wrong photo and description.

 

[Moogmelt]

Haha, that's what I thought, but Amazon has a pretty generous return policy.
They were in fact 100% legit.

 

[Luckydog]

My accordion has never sounded better. The bellows are a little bit looser with these strings, but the lower tension is absolutely worth it. With the enhanced mids, my accordion now cuts through the mix like a hot knife through butter, and with the lighter tension and a little judicious EQ I am able to pull off some of the more difficult Beer Barrel Polka riffs with ease!

 

[Hot Rats]

I bought 2 sets last month with this deal. I watched as they made their way from Austria to my home. 100% legit.

 

[dave hope]

Thanks for the tip.
I just ordered 2 sets at a much cheaper price than I’ve ever paid for TIs before

 

[Spupilup]

I think I'm set for life. I have three sets I purchased on Amazon back in early 2019 for $36 a set. I think shipping from the UK was $8 for each set. I still have the first set I purchased on my L1000. I have TI Rounds on my L2000 and my Short Scale Stingray. I guess you could say I like TI's. I have a couple of sets of Pyramid Golds to try but hate pulling the TI's of the L1000.

 

[Iofflight]

Give the TI rounds a try when you need another set of rounds on a bass. They're every bit as good as the flats.
