Make sure you get the Jazz Rounds as TI does make several differrent types of rounds.

While we're talking of the TI 344's, I just ordered a set for my '62 RI J-Bass. Has anyone tried them with a v63 or c64 yet? I'd like to try that as an old school rig instead of a P-Bass or J-Bass.

my big complaint when i got my 4001CS was that the nut slots would not accomodate medium guage rotosounds... will the Jazz rounds do that? i forget the guage of the Rick strings that came on the bass.

i just haven't had time to get the nut filed.

The TIs should fit just fine.

TI gauges are somewhat misleading. I changed to TI flats that have a .136 B string after using GHS rounds with a .128, and the nut slot is fine. Tension is significantly lower than other string brands, too. When I switched, I went from .045 G to .044 TI G and had to raise the saddle quite a bit. Same thing on D and A.

I did have rounds on my V63 too Ted. They were DR Lo-Riders(I still have them on my 4003), but after I had extensive repairs done on it to fix a neck crack a previous owner put on it, I decided to put flats on it for good, to reduce any minor fret wear and to keep any more neck and fret work to a bare minimum. So far, everything has been fine, the neck has been rock solid,and the bass has performed extremely well.
