Favorite Strings to Use?

[AbadMonster]

On your preferred instrument, what brand and type strings do you use?

 

On my Seagull I use Martin Bronze Lights

 

On my BC Richs and my ESP LTD EC-1000T I only use Ernie Ball Cobalt Slinkys

[Pruitt1962]

I use DR Black Beauties on my two fretted 6 string basses, and also on my Variax 705. I have used RotoSound SwingBass 66's on my Stingray since I bought it in 1980. My 6 string fretless has LaBella black tapewound strings on it.

on the elctric Darco 010-046 , tried a lot of different ones, didnt find em that different ...all nickel shit...so i buy the cheapest

On the acoustic MArtin SP 3050 011.. triyng some coated ones... as a sweat a lot, and especially the h and high e, gets dark and loses tone FAST

You really can't go wrong for £0.78 for a set. They're not the best strings in the world for obvious reasons lol, and you'll need to change them every week or two but they're ridiculously cheap so it's not a big deal. I'd definitely recommend them if you're on a budget.

 I just bought these for my electric guitar. So far I like them but I haven't really tried them out. On my bass I am using D'Addario ETB92. They are black and tapewound and play really well.I think I will only use these strings from now on.

I use the guts of dragons i slay to create bass strings that sound deeper than the halls of Valhalla and the hair of fair maidens i have shagged for my electric guitar strings (altho so far i can only manage 1 single string for a ukulele  :oops:, i need to get more fit).

 

But other than that Ernie Ball ;).

Right now, I'm using the strings that came with my Jackson, but once I need a replacement, I'm going to be buying the Ernie Ball Super Slinky Strings Set (9-42) to put on my guitar. Heard many great things about them and hopefully won't be disappointed.

For my headless D'Addario ESXL125's I don't have a lot of options for that guitar. For now, all my others have D'Adadario 120's on them. They seem to last me a good while. But I have used MANY different brands. I guess I just got tired of GHS Boomers.

Could never find Cobalts where I live.

[Birdassasin]

I mostly use 10-52's, preferrably D'Addarios or Ernie Balls (just got a 3-pack of Ernie Balls)

[snowdog]

Am I the only wimp that uses 9s..?  :shock:  :oops:  :-P

I use them on guitars with standard tuning, too.

 

Ernie Ball or D'Dario though. I tried Fender strings once and they were terrible...

[buddybutch]

On my RG 2620 : Elixir 09-46

On My ESP SV Custom : Elixir 11-52

[xvladx]

I currently have EB skinny top heavy bottom on my guitar, but I liked the ones I had on before better which were DAs EXL116 (11-52 nickel wound)

Wow! Never seen those coloured strings before, do you find that they are helpful when playing RS or do they just look good. Thinking about bying a pack.

[Zecht]

elixir 9-46 

[jaster]

Honestly, they're more gimmicky than anything, but I'm a sucker for that.  They look hella cool under a black light.

 

My 7 year old finds them helpful when playing RS.

The best price I've seen for them is on Amazon.
