What strings do you use?

[spychocyco]

Super Slinkys all the way around ... electric, acoustic and bass. I'm planning on giving the coated strings a shot on my acoustic in the near future, though.

[silverburst]

Bass Hybrid Slinkies (orange pack) and Group 2 Flats (blue pack). I use .010 Slinkies on the 6-strings.

[phatduckk]

I've been all about hybrid stainless steel's lately

[guitar_guy12]

I use Skinny top Heavy Bottom0.12 on .052 ( for droped C)
Regular slinky.010 on .046 ( Drop D or regular tuning or half step down)
And Dunlop .010 on .046 ( same as regular slinky)

Ernie Ball Regular Slinkys on my Fender USA Strat and EB MM Sub 1 and Daddario 10s on my Gibson Les Paul Studio Lite.

[Orpheus]

Wow man... I've used ernie ball strings... for me they don't have any punch...they feel like weak. I've been using DAddario for 7 years, I think they have more response or attack to the pick!!

I think it would be far less work for me if the question would be:

"Which EB strings don't you use?"

no, i'm just kidding, but i think that i do use quite a lot of EB strings

i also use some other brands for now, but when i have ran out of those last sets i will replace them with EB's as well

this is my current string usage:

*Extra Slinky's .040 - .095
*Super Slinky's .045 - .100
*Hybrid Slinky's .045 - .105
*Regular Slinky's .050 - .105

*Rotosound Swingbass .040 - .095, i'll replace these with Extra Stainless Slinky's
*Rotosound Swingbass .045 - .105, i'll replace these with Hybrid Stainless Slinky's
*Rotosound Jazz flat's .040 - .100, i'll replace these with Group IV or singles
*Rotosound Jazz flat's .045 - .105, i'll replace these with Group II or singles

sometimes i also use Power Slinky's for a low-D or Eb tuning

perhaps i will go back on playing Stingray-5 and Bongo-6 (next to 4 string) and for those i would be using Regular-5 or Power-5 and 6-string slinky bass

[Bassman_1980]

for my electric guitar (which still isn't a MM ) i use different gauges:

super slinky's
hybrid slinky's
regular slinky's

and also most types:

Rock 'n roll classics
RPS slinky's
Standard nickel slinky's

i also have future plans on buying a western (6 & 12 string) and a classical acoustic guitar, which also will be strung with EB:

Coated titanium slinky's (light or extra light)
Slinky acoustic 12-string (2153)
Ernesto nylon clear & silver (2403)

Funny you should say that. One of the reasons I quit using D'Addarios years ago, much to the regret of my friends who loved them, was they always sounded dead to me straight out of the package. Just lifeless. Admittedly, I haven't tried any in 20 years or so, but I don't have any need to, either. My Slinkys do me just fine.

[universe777]

What kind of strings do i use? There's a red milkcrate/bargain bin at the end of our guitar center counter...whatever strings are in there are the ones i buy!

[Volt]

I have been using EB "Regular Slinky" (10's) on all my guitars except for using "Super Bullets" 10's on my Strats. After playing and liking the EB "RPS" 9's that are on my EBMM SS from the factory I'm going to use RPS strings on all my guitars. 9's on my SS and my Strats, and 10's on all my other electric guitars........none of which I play much anymore since getting the Silhouette.

[TonyEVH5150]

EB Hybrid RPS 46-9's for electric. I occasionally jump to the "Pink" packed Slinkys (42-9's).

EB Super Slinky Acoustic strings (52-11's), as light as I could find them. I'm using these up so I can get the new coated acoustic strings that were just released. I was using D'Addario previously for acoustics, but tried a set of EB acoustic strings. Really good strings. My Breedlove sounded pretty good with the D'Addario EXP acoustic strings, but the Slinkys just made everything sound SOOOOOOO much better. More projection, even tone.

[Bass Control]
