Thomastic Issue(s)

Can anyone suggest a good substitute for a Thomastic G string? Something less growly and a bit fuller that might blend in with my set of Thomastics.

Depends what else you have on but......Pirastro Pizz (nylon wrapped), Dominant, Innovation Pizz...in that order unless you want to spring for an Oliv.
You will likely have to go to a synthetic core or gut to get away from the growl. I have used all three of the above on plywoods and have been very happy with the Pirastro Pizz. Quite satisfied with the other two.
Good luck.
