Re: "Rain" tablature or sheet music???
I allowed my luthier to install TIs JF344 on my V63 and on the JB... I had expected the luthier to loosen the TR on the V63 which had the factory RW rickenbacker strings, but the luthier said he didn't need to... so not much difference in tension between the old and the new strings despite what I had read here and there
Anyway I had a few minutes to play just the V63 and not the JB
let our ears to decide about the tone

I like the sound of TI strings although they're pretty dead compared to the rick RWs

Re: "Rain" tablature or sheet music???
Now that you've got flats on the bass, do you still use the mute?

yes, although flat strings affect a little bit the sustain (and of course the brightness) you still need the mute for the pepper/mmt etc. songs

Re: "Rain" tablature or sheet music???
I never get tired of watching those! Great job as usual!
My TIs have red silk wrapings, but I can't see that yours do. Am I just missing it, or do yours not have the red silk wrapings?

My TIs have the same red silk wrappings...maybe the quality of the video does not allow you to notice
