Any real sound/tone difference in .11's?

rubbish , there is a very audible difference in low end and warmth.

you can hear it even if its not plugged in.

Yeah....between 11s and your drums :pac:

I've been using 12's for years. I went from 10' to 11's, then to 13's for a while (ouch!), then settled on 12's.

Although I do prefer more 'boom' in my tone, I changed for reasons of feel. Lighter strings just feel too skinny, floppy, and weedy under my fingers.
(I actually changed soon after I started playing bass, so it might have something to do with that!)

I play with a funky, percussive style, using mostly 3 or 4 note chords, double stops, and single notes, so they suit my style perfectly.
Plus, I usually tune a half-step down whenever I can. I like the sound and feel that way. This on a strat btw and I had to adjust the intonation and file the nut a little.

One thing about them tough, I absolutely HAVE to have a wound G string, I HATE unwound G strings, I think they sound awful 'clangy' and just don't feel right.

At the end of the day it's whatever feels right to you that matters.

What's wrong with you that you can't accept that other people may find 11s to sound better/thicker?

There is definitely a difference in tone between thicknesses of strings.

Do you think you've all the answers after your 10 years of playing guitar?

pretty much it really

I would say you are in fact a TROLL .

Maybe your not so slow after all! A bit sensitive though! God forbid someone has a different opinion on the internet!


Either way, i stand by my original position, i dont think theres a REAL sound difference between 10s and 11s. 9s and 12s yeah sure, but 10s and 11s....not a REAL difference....as per the OP's actual question. Which i reiterated in earlier posts to clear my position. The OP simply wanted to change from 10s to 11s on his tele, I hardly think he should expect fireworks!

Seems you have trouble understanding simple english!

ps, i only start trolling around the end of the 2nd page when i seen half of you going mad!
