>>>is that "guitar top" or "everybody else" top? (personally, I really don't like light strings on the low notes and always go for the thickest possible )<<< top meaning high notes. If thicker lower strings work for you, go for it, but my own experience is that you get exactly the effect you're talking about - a loss of clarity and intonation above the 5th fret. With a lighter B and E string, I get a lot more clarity and better balance across the strings. YMMV. cheers Steve www.stevelawson.net - site www.stevelawson.net/store/ - shop http://steve.anthropiccollective.org - blog www.myspace.com/solobasstevelawson
