ahpook Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 i ue the d'addagio xl 156, which are .24 - .84. i tried the fender set, which are slightly heavier, but i found it almost impossible to intonate the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I always fancied one of those "baritone" VI's. Pity the reissue is so bloody expensive! It's recently been quietly dropped from the Fender website as well. Is it nice to play? I'd imagine that it's pick playing only with the strings so close together!
