Don,
You can lose some of that first string "twanginess" on
slant chords by going to a heavier string. It's
caused by the string sliding sideways under the bar.
A heavier string will require greater bar pressure,
and also have a bit less sideways motion at hte same
volume. I like a .017, as I like the ability to get
that "twang" when I want it down toward the nut where
the slant has to be greater than farther up the neck.
Just for the heck of it, place the bar straight across
at, say, the 7th fret. Pick the first string
repeatedly, and slant the bar more and more as you
pick. You'll hear that sharp twang appear and get
worse as you increase the slant.
Because the bar is less slanted higher up the neck,
where the frets are closer together, this effect can
be decreased by limiting slants to playing in that
area. But then there's no fun it that!
