I`m diggin it! My question is this. Where in the book of the laws of the universe is it written that one must string a guitar using one set of the same brand and same gauge strings? Except in the wallet. But I see lots of people here springing for all types of high end gear for the quest so I thinking a few extra dollars for such a possibly turn-key step is no concern. My problem was balancing a nice snap on the bass strings with less anemic sound on the highs (I play a Tribute). The solution for me was to mix a brighter string package for the bass and a warmer string package for the high while also increasing the string gauge for both the E strings so that I could really feel it. I`m now using from D`Addario a NW 49,35 and 26, and from Ernie Ball a NW 17,13 and 11. I`m diggin it! If you`re interested and don`t feel like buying 4 sets of strings for one rig, juststrings.com has single strings available for about a buck fifty.
that is a pretty far out thought.. i've never heard of switching up like that... i just use the skinny fats, but then I am not all that great at playn that I need all that extra sound, but thanks for chiming in.. it was a good read and gives one stuff to think about ...
