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.
not sure if they accomplish the job or not as i've never used them but thought you should be aware that gibson has for some years had a "vintage" line of strings.
