Sting Ray?

Justin, do you try to put some flawounds in the Ray ?
I put a La Bella set in my 2005 (3 band eq) MMSR and got the old shool tone, eliminating those nasty harmonic overtones and harsh sounds of the fresh rounds. Plus, the flats are more consistent in sound than roundwounds and last forever.
In the other hand I plan to change the flats on my 74 Fender P by chrome XL´s because it have a extreme old school thump and I need more growl.
Some of you guy said that the rule of thumb its Stingray+rounds / P+flats, but I like to play with the contrasts.
