i recently bought a new 2 band 'ray ,which i love to bits btw. the only slight niggle i have with it is the g string is weaker sounding than the other strings although not as bad as my old 3 band model which had a totally inaudible g string & hence got flogged on. volume wise it is just a loud as the other strings but lacks the "balls" or "punch" if you like & no amount of adjustment makes a difference. i.ve strung it with some fairly heavy EB group 2 flats which sound amazing,well o
