I ordered light gauge strings. Being a Bass player, maybe should have gone with med's.. Any thoughts.
I got my first 12 str grand half a year ago and started out with light strings. Just recently I changed for medium and I must say I like medium better. They allow more dynamics in your playing and they produce a better tone in the PASV4 pickup. I was surprised that there isn't much differens regarding bending strings for glissando; guess that's because the Stick has so long string length?
(a later edit:)
I forgot to mention that one big plus with the medium strings, compared to light, is that you get a more consistent tone all over the fretboard. Some low notes close to the nut that I had learned to avoid with the light strings because they did not come out well suddenly sounded rich when putting on the medium guage strings.
