Thanks all...... I had to make a decision and I,ve gone with the TI's from Strings Direct.

said it earlier but this forum is brilliant ..... really appreciate everyones contributions ......

However I know feel the (real) need to start a new string related topic.......

You'll love them. Don't forget you may need to tweak the truss rod with lower tension strings as you may get a slight back bow with the TIs..

I find set up with TI flats particularly troublesome, almost not enough tension to get the relief I want even with the truss fully loosened off, great sounding string though.

I have that issue on my 74 P a bit - it seems to prefer Chromes.

The 64 P is def. under truss rod tension with the TIs, but it seems to be really straight naturally.

It's an odd one, for sure, some basses suit low tension, some don't..
