Re: Muth A5
I am usually use a BC CT55 man, but I recently picked up a Wegen TD-140 and totally love it.
They are very different, and I can't decide which i prefer.
I keep both in the strings and trade off depending on how my mando is feeling that day.
The wegen seems to be better for straight bluegrass as it is a little brighter and has a bite.
The CT55 is better for everything else, as it is smoother and really glides through the strings.
I was using the EXP74cms and loved the tighter E & A, but I recently switched back to regular EXP74s.
On my JB F5 Special the EXP74s have a little less volume but a little more color.
They sound a little more open.
The EXP74cms are probably better if I were going straight up bluegrass though.
Both are great string sets.
