Well my Corvette Standard should be coming anyday now, and im really feeling the pressure to get some new strings. I really want that growl. Like, i want the thing to freakin roar at you. What strings would you suggest to get the most growl? |

Peace,

Amateur sound samples: http://www.myspace.com/trueoldscool - Check out Naughty Naughty for some isolated stuff. Just to clarify that is my German made Streamer Std. with 6 month old TI Jazz flats going through my Genz Benz head with the Tube pre cranked.

I've ordered a set of TI Jazz Flats so I'll report back on how they sound. I've only heard good things about them so far.
