They are not as bright sounding and many think they are vintage sounding. I like them on my strats for that SRV thing. Thicker helps if you can stand them try 11s or at least 10s. Also try a thicker guage pick. Lastly, honestly, try a different brand of cable...believe it or not they will affect your tone WAY more than you think. A good cable will give you a balanced tone or a bright one if you want.
