Hi KK,
thanks a lot... as a matter of fact I use 011 flatwounds. I have
ordered the Pyramids at your advice, but i'm currently still in the
process of burning up the d'Addario stock I had.
So, I'm still a bit in the blind about the staggerd pups...
staggered + flatwounds = even string response
non-staggerd + roundwounds = even string response?
is this the trick?
thanks,
wannes
