This is true for bass too. thin strings suck. it also makes a difference in sound if you clean the strings well and wipe them down with good lemon oil before you play. I try to do it once every 2-3 weeks to keep the strings nice. I dont know if it makes them last longer or anything but it makes a noticable difference in sound. You will have oily fingers untill it soaks in too so be warned
