Okay, I know it sounds lame, and believe me I know there's more to a vintage sound than strings, but I know strings are going to be part of the signal chain so I thought I might ask...

If I was aiming for an aged, vintage sound, are there any brands out there that would do that better than others?

I've been told that thick is the way to go for guitar, and flat-wound for bass, but beyond that is solely meticulous curiosity.
