Hello fellas,
I have a 90s SFII with stock pickups.
I’ve had D’Addario Chromes on for a few years, but I’m not in love with them.
I find that in order to get a thumpy sound I need an insanely high action... and it’s still not as thumpy as I’d like.
What I’m looking for is something darker than the chromes, more thumpy (think Paul McCartney, though that might be too extreme of a sound for a SF), possibly with less tension than Chromes medium scale cause with a high action they are kinda heavy, but that doesn’t roll under your fingers like some flats do cause it gives me the creeps.
I know there are hundreds of different flats models out there so I’d really appreciate your input on this!
By the way, it doesn’t have to be flats. I’m pointed towards that direction cause the that’s the idea of sound I’m after and because most taper I’ve heard were too bland whereas I’m looking for something gnarly, with character, but I’m open to suggestions!
This could be a good example of sound I’m chasing: https://g.co/kgs/CAo4a8
