Fat, thick tone? Sounds more like a J-Bass tip. Good article in general, but heavier strings are only useful at all if you want a more bluesy sound, to tune down low or if you have trees for fingers. Perhaps it's only personal taste, but a wound G gets irritating after awhile, especially with a lot of sliding about and very little callous on the fingertips. Though, I can see its usefulness in the hands of most of the folks I know that use them; They tend to like the scooped sound. No mid? What's with that? Anyway, just like gain, at times less is more in terms of string gauge. Give a little love to the thins, eh? They make them for a reason y'know. Otherwise the article is liable to make the reader nervous that a 'Gibson and Marshall' comment is about to smack them in the face. How typical. Fat, thick tone? Sounds more like a J-Bass tip.
