This is exactly what I found with Orig. Flexocores

1) G is slightly brighter than the rest of the set and can be scratchy at times.

2) Low E is fairly muddy for pizz, most players I've seen don't use the Low E.

3) The A just shakes the room, it has a FAT sound.

Ken, would you say the '92 regular and stark are both darker than the Original Flexocores? I'm looking for something smooth but a tad more punchy and articulate...Many people say Orig. Flat-chrome is the cure.
