When I had my '03 Fender AV '62 Jazz Bass I put TI Jazz Flats on it, sounded great; I also had TI JFs on the '04 4004Cii i used to own.

I'm gonna look into these TI's. How much do they usually run? By the way, there's nothing better than a Kangaroo drinking a Foster's

I don't know about that, Nolan. Trotty and Aitch have said that Australians don't drink Fosters.

Everyone drinks Foster's

Not down here. That's why we export it. We keep the good stuff for ourselves. The kangaroo is drinking Coopers Pale Ale.

+1 for Labella Deep Talkin' Bass, and Coopers Pale Ale.

I have a set of TI flats on a fretless I have and think they sound great. Not my main instrument, but I took them off an EB-3 I put them on 6mos ago, put Rotosound Black plastic tapewounds on it, and put the TIs on a fretless I just got by trading some **** I didn't need. The strings, even after being transplanted, sound great,IMHO.

FWIW, I strung the POTR 12 string TI flat set on my 360/12FGVP almost a year ago, and love them. I play this guitar quite often, and find the strings still sound great.

Next you're going to tell me you don't have Outback Steakhouse down there.

When I was in Sydney two years ago I had some kind of beer that was, for lack of a better term, very sparkly. Almost like champagne. I thought it was Cooper's, but I had more than a few that night. I enjoyed the beer down there.

Also, I personally prefer LaBellas to TI Jazz Flats, but it could be because I like coated strings.

I hate coated strings. They feel . . . slimey to me. I don't know why they just do. I'm interested in a comparison of the Pyramid flats and the Ti's though. I mean the Pyramids seem to be 20 bucks more than the TI's. I wonder what the difference is tonally.


And just so you all know, the Kangaroo . . . can drink whatever he wants. Because he's a Kangaroo and he doesn't know any better

I think they have an equivalent called Wayin Fishmarket.

No, just the US Embassy (McDonalds)

I had Pyramids on my 4003 before I switched to the TI JF344 set. I like the TI strings better. The Pyramids have way more tension, and I had some tail lift from them. Once I put on the TI strings, the tail lift was reduced a lot. I also put some washers under the tailpiece, which helped flatten out the tailpiece. I think the TI strings sound as good if not better than the Pyramids.

my tailpiece has screws holding it down. whats the difference in tension between the pyramids and the Ti's?

I was all about the Cooper's Red when I was down in Oz. In fact, when Aitch was in Chi town about a year and a half ago, it was the perfect excuse for me to stock a twelver of red in case he was a little homesick.

I don't hate Foster's though. It ain't bad cold. Now, Budweiser...that's bad!

Bud ain't beer, it is brewer ****. If I'm offered a Bud, I'll ask for a club soda!
