Yup, thanks for the reply and I just got off the phone with Strings and Beyond, and it turns out Bluegrass players do just that. Which makes sense.... thumb the heavy bass strings and then tickle the nice light treble strings....
So there's the D'Addario EJ14, Martin MA240, John Pearse 250LM and the Elixir 11077 sets..... all labeled "Light Medium".
Interesting. One of each ordered.
In the meantime in anticipation of that I also switched the D form a light to a medium.
Whoa.... I am REALLY liking where this is going..... This is a sound I can get used to!
