toggletoggle post by brian_dc  at Jan 7,2010 3:39pm
DR



toggletoggle post by largefreakatzero at Jan 7,2010 3:41pm
D'Addario .011 electric.
Ernie Ball Power Slinky is a good 2nd choice, but I prefer the D'Addario.



toggletoggle post by Archaeon at Jan 7,2010 3:41pm
D'Addario is the only strings ill use. 10-52 or bust

Who needs strings to play guitar?

Ernie Boch strings



toggletoggle post by martins   at Jan 7,2010 3:54pm
I love Elixier polyweb or whatever (not nanoweb). I use 10-52 on my Schecter and 10-49 on my Parker.

toggletoggle post by arktouros at Jan 7,2010 4:03pm

toggletoggle post by xanonymousx at Jan 7,2010 4:04pm

i guess ill go with the d'addario's
i love the eilxiers brian, but i don't have any of those at the moment.



toggletoggle post by martins   at Jan 7,2010 4:16pm
Ah. Elixers are the shit anyway.



toggletoggle post by ArrowHeadNLI at Jan 7,2010 4:41pm
Of those two I'd take the D'Addarios, but I'll always take a set of GHS Boomers (.009-.046) over any of those first!

I'd rather have my tips wear down than completely break off.

5aw for me. sometimes 5bw.



toggletoggle post by MarkFuckingRichards  at Jan 7,2010 4:57pm
I used to use D'Addario a lot because they didn't break as easily as other strings, but I found that they go dead quicker than a lot of brands. I've been using exclusively Ernie Ball something or others (.11 to .54 w/ unwound G) and have no complaints.

I use the dried entrails of my enemies.

I use D'Addario myself. Was at .012 for a while but went down to .010.

DR all day. Last way longer, don't sound like buzzing shit, and always sound new.

.11's BTW.



toggletoggle post by immortal13 at Jan 7,2010 8:21pm
Dr

D'Addarios. Ernie Balls are bullshit. Dean Markleys are good too.



toggletoggle post by Blender_Method  at Jan 7,2010 10:53pm
Ernie Balls if you want a lively sound (nice highs), D'Addario if you want a duller more rolled off highs sound. ERNIE'S BALLS Mo'FUCKA

Pro-mark 5b American Hickory Wood tip..but VF if they aren't in stock.

Nylon tips make your cymbals sound useless.

I like D'Addarios. Ernie Ball seem to go way too dull way too quick.



toggletoggle post by sinistas   at Jan 8,2010 7:11am
Ernie Ball 10-52s = yes.

DR


i second the DR. they stay bright for a really long time are much more slinky and dense. you pay a little more but it's so worth it.

ernie ball are total junk

d'addario are my go to strings if i can't get any DR, which isn't so much of a problem now that stores finally carry them on a regular basis. although nobody carries the heavy gauge DR bass strings except for B-Sharp.



toggletoggle post by Slymo  at Jan 8,2010 10:06am
DRs are the best



toggletoggle post by joeyumbrella nli at Jan 8,2010 10:30am
Used acoustic strings. Seriously full of tone



toggletoggle post by martins   at Jan 8,2010 11:35am
Man I really really hated DR when I used them a few times. Same thing with GHS Boomers.



toggletoggle post by Sacreligion at Jan 8,2010 11:40am
Any strings are good for playing once and then changing. Except GHS.
