Supertwangreverb,
I bought both Pyramid 0.11 Flats and Pyramid 0.11 round.
Both are noteably cheaper in price then d'Addario's. (In Europe that is)
I first wanted to put the round 0.11 on my Vista series Jagmaster, but I
chickened out because I didn't want to fiddle arround with the tuss rod
and the tremolo system.(again)
Since I got 0.11 flats on my Jazzmaster, I'm sure the Pyramids will go
on that one without any fuzz.
I'm a kind of looking for a new dimension with the Jazzmaster. And since
I like the Early Ventures sound a lot (with the roundwounds)
I like how it sounds, but when playing with Drum, bass and guitar, it
just don't seam to cut it as it is. So now I use a MIJ stock Jaguar that
adds more twang and bite to my bands sound. It also seams to go better
with the Stratocaster of our rythem guitarist. But for some strange
reason the Jazzmaster was always in the same tonal region as our Bass
players 1963 Burns Jazzbass.
I really like my CIJ Jazzmaster, but I wished it had a bit more. So I'm
a kind of hoping that the AV RI pups and new pots will do the trick. And
it's also a good excuse to try on some Pyramids. And it would be nice to
use the Jag with flats and the Jazzmasters with rounds.
But for some reason I can't play a decent tune on a Mosrite, a really
nice guitar, but the frets are too narrow for my sausace like
fingers.....(And thanks to Roland from the "Lunar Tiki's" I got to play
on his lovely Vintage red "Ventures model" Mosrite....)But I just feel
more comfortable on the Fenders.

Jerry,
Let me know how the Pyramids work out. I just went from 11 Daddario
rounds to 11 Daddario Flats. The band I play in does some of the '65
Japan stuff so I miss that sound a bit. That being said the flats
added a new dimension to my CIJ Jazzmaster.
