What strings do you use? - Page 7

I use the
Super Slinky Nickel Wound .009 - .042 (Pink pack)

I'm thinking to try the RPS-9 Slinky Nickel Wound .009 - .042. Is there any difference in the sound, cos i really like the super slinky sound

No difference in the sound! Same Super Slinky Tone!

The RPS strings are great!

Just wait until the new Coated Electric RPS Slinkys make their way into stores, this summer.... They'll win you over. Of that I'm sure.

So I get the best of both worlds from this setup. And it keeps my trem floating. Plus, that low-e can drop VERY low...

the singles you're using come quiete close towards a Skinny top heavy bottom set from EB, product code 2215

those gauges are 10-13-17-30-42-52

worth a try?

I just put a set of regular slinkies on my Squier P-Bass special and they gave it life I didn't know it was capable of having.

Still probly won't touch it for years after the SUB gets here though. :-P

I use EB RPS 11s on my electrics (Gibsons) and Martin 13s on my acoustics 6 and Martin Light on my acoustic 12.
The RPS, although do not last as long as I like, resist pretty well the string breakage (sp?). I'm a heavy bender.

Well then you will be pretty excited about our Titanium Reinforced Coated Electric Slinkys.

Keep your eyes peeled!

Standard 10-46s...
Can't get enough of that wonderfull stuff.
Always just seem to have more 'omfph' then 9-42s... Always just seemed to resonate more with me...Can't explain it, they just seem right.

I've been using Dean Markley NickelSteel 009-046 ("Custom Lite") for almost all my electric guitar life.

That's the plain strings from a 009 set and the wound strings from a 010 set. Best of both world in my opinion, you get a real bass, but the high strings are easy to manipulate and they are low on "off" overtones.

Sometimes I try both sides one notch up to 010-052 but I usually figure it's not worth it.

The wound DM NickelSteel have very shiny spakly overtones that I like. I once put a whole bunch of "A" strings on my guitar and compared and they won for my taste.

I use Super slinkys/DRs.
