Since so many people have for so many years mistaken Geddy's recorded Fender Jazz sound for his Ric, the Geddy sig is an honorary Ric in my book. :wink:

Thanks for warm reception. I believe we were playing Space Truckin' during that shot.

I know this is not the right forum, but..... any thoughts on flats or roundwounds? I am currently using the Curt Mangan POTR roundwounds.

These are the exact replacements for the Rickenbacker strings.

I just put some D'addario Chrome flats on my MIJ Fender Jazz Special and love them. Was thinking of doing the same with the 4001 but I am concerned about the overall string tension that the 4001 can take. Any thoughts?

If you can hang with a lighter gauge flatwound set,Chromes should be just fine,tension-wise. (40-100 range or lighter)
There are a lot of fans here for the Chromes,as well as thomastic,Optima,and GHS flats,which all have different sound and tension/ feel characteristics.

I use Chromes in their Super Soft set (40-95), not on any Ricks, at the moment though. TI Jazz Flats are another great flatwound set I use (only one gauge set so it is easy to decide which to use :wink: ), I currently have them on my Laredo.
