I play D'Addario chrome flats on my Cyclone II. I was
choosing between the 11's and the 12's at the store
and decided to start smaller, but after playing at
drummer-volume through a pretty sizeable amp I'm dyin
to try the 12's now, or even 13's if I can lay a hand
on 'em. The thing is, after a certain point, is there
too much low end in the guitar sound? I mean on a set
of 13's the low E is bigger than the G string on my
P-bass.

It's always better if you have to turn the "bass" knob DOWN on your
amp instead up UP. Go heavy! www.juststrings.com ~Mike

Well an E is still an E, its not lower in pitch because of the thicker
string...it just sounds more MASSIVE with the thicker string, especially
through a reverb tank. :)
Listen to Dick Dale live and hear his low E rumble through a reverb unit and
massively amplified through 2 Dual Showmans! Say what you will about the
lovable old guy, but he's still got the tone!!! At least he hasn't abandoned
that.
