No refin..

Just a very early one. I think that Dr. Gary has it now....

Is that what they are? I thought so, but for some reason I thought you told me otherwise. I HATE TI FLATS! Yes it still has them on. I've been so damned busy with other stuff, the FG V63 has had no attention since I bought it. I'll get to it soon, and when I do the TI's will go in the case to be saved for a time (perhaps 30 years into the future) when my fingers are too weak to fret a real man's string.

Jeff,
If you're not using it send it back to me !!!

Try the Super Slinkies, they sound lovely on the v63 !!

Slinkys will be my next move, Jim!

Usually I like these:

But sometimes I use these instead:

These strings just make basses happy!

They're almost as cool as having both Ted Staberow AND Chris Pappas posting on the Forum again! 'Ello lads!

A big +1

Owning both, I understand that. My V spends a lot of time in the case...

I'm slowly moving to Super Slinky's. They have a nice tone.

Looks like we think alike. Here's my 1998 V63JG:

WOW Jeff! What a great combination. PM me your private email and I will send you a few pictures of it.

My ex-MID V63. Great Ric.......just not for me.

Brian, who ended up with the MID V63?

hahaha.....I certainly can post smaller pics, but most of you guys are so old, I figure I'd better blow 'em up 30-40x in order for you to see them...

I haven't figured out this new-fangled forum thingy out yet....

....but when I do....whatchouuuuuut!

How big are your original pics you are posting?

Paul B. -- I believe Jerry Juden owns it...he has TWO V63's, he should be chiming in soon...!

I forget....it wasn't a Forumite unless they have joined since buying it. I offered it here first and only got low ball offers so I sold it through Ebay.
