I know 'about' that Theress as well. That Bass was offered to me before it was sold if they had time to send some of their stock over to me to sell here in the USA. This Theress has been here in USA for many many decades. I never saw any pics of the Thwaite's Theress but the one I saw was a fantastic British Bass.

On the FCS's being solo gauge I am not aware that the ones I tried were lighter than Orchestra gauge. I am getting a set of 5s soon and will see if they are the same as what I have tried. I may have to ask if the ones on the Theress were solo gauge in fact or just orchestra gauge.
