  just to put in another two cents

for gigles I got a hold of some GHS electrics for Zak Wylde (sp?) and substituted a 13 for the 11 and a 23 wound for the 18 plain but the trick with these was the low end.
70, 52, 36, 23, 14, 13 is what I'm trying. That 70 ... I had never seen such a bass string on a guitar. The sustain lasts longer and they don't fret out. if the 23 was from the same set it would work well, but this one has a different feel. I like the richer tone from a 13. I never thought it would matter much. It seems however, that whatever strings and set up I goof around with, there is a slight variation in how to play them.

for what its worth...


six strings bangin' on a board, (makes it sound simple)
