That's good. If you are happy then :thumb: I've always meant to try GHS but...

I have TI on my Rivoli and to me they are not tight, not like most other flats are. If you want tight I wouldn't go with them.

The other thing is if you were into trying lots of strings flats are the worst choice to go with because they last for years, I think I have one set of chromes that have been on one bass for over 12 years, and they still sound great!

yeah, and since my rounds lasted 8 years, i expect to not buy strings for a while. :lol: i'll either wait for a new bass or wait till i have all my amp and effect needs taken care of. it should be a while.
