Default Thanks, all!

I settled on 12 Thomastik for now and bought Monels in 12 and 13. The Thomastiks feel great and I could likely go up to a 13. Pricey tho. I'll try the Monels after these wear out--according to most, they have a pretty good lifespan. I've heard they don't last quite as long, but the price is right.

Was initially after a '38 Epi Triumph in town but the guy decided not to sell. After searching Reverb and other places, I actually decided to go modern. I felt that being unable to actually play a vintage box was not the route I wanted to follow, tho I prefer vintage.
