Here is a picture of me and my newly arrived baby - only changes so far were to chuck in two new batteries and change the strings from flatwounds to 35-90 roundwounds - nice and twangy now ;) [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj293/pclifton2004/DSC05625.jpg[/IMG] dadabass2001 Senior Member Username: dadabass2001 Post Number: 1581 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - 6:18 am:    Hi Paul, Indeed I remember you from both locations. Glad to see you're back in the fold. Have the maximum allowance of fun without attracting official attention (the smile tells me you've already begun).

Which brand of 35-90 round wounds do you like ? I also like light strings on my Series I .
