I used to use rusty bailing wire on my elecric bass the high iron content made it punchy indeed. But it kept blowing my amp.
now I only play acoustic banjo and 12 and 6 strings. I find that on the guitars I like thin strings play really loose. on the 6-string I use the thin string from a pack of twelves apearently not an uncommon practice for folk and old time country musicians. on the banjo I have a wound Electric bass G-string and two banjo strings I play with a bow so I am doing everything wrong [t]here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zgu5AW9q8pI
