What strings do you use?
 

Hmm.

What kind of strings would do you guys use? Just a checking of preferences, btw.

Eddie ball, I use heavy a gauge but 9s are best :)

^HAHAHAHAHAHA:rofl::rofl:

thats ERNIE.


good to see you back spikey.

ernie balls just dont do it for me. i bent a string in half playing them. so...i stopped using those. i tried blue steel and GHS....but i find that elixirs are the best. they last forever. the only reason i would ever use blue steel again is the sound they give. i use 11's on my strat and 9's on my esp. theyre a little light for metal but the floyd makes 'em work.

in not fussy, i've always just baught super slinkys, who the hell's gonna notice the difference anyway.

My thoughts exactly. You pay $4 at the most for a set that will last you around a month. The only difference is the guage size. I'm not spending $11 for a pack of strings that feel the same. Oh and I use Ernie Ball Regular Slinky (the green pack)

and strings down here at their cheapest are £7 for me. i can't find them any cheaper and they're the same ones your using and with the exchange rate you can times that by a half if you want to convert into dollars, see, i have no choice, the cost of strings is putting me slowly under the poverty line.

the only reason i pay the extra money for the elixirs is because they dont get all crusty and gritty after a few weeks. just...personal preference i guess, but i hate when strings get like that.

Mine do it within 8 days of putting them on. Party because I have clamy handsxcore and partly because I don't have anything to clean them with.

^exactly. i rarely clean my strings. ill wipe them down with my shirt when im done playing but other than that...i havent cleaned them for about a month.

if you dont want to spend the extra money, get "finger ease". its this spray on stuff (i forget exactly whats in it) but it cleans up the strings really well.

i dunno i think silver bullets
