Mine should be easy to get hold of, D'Addario 10s on everything!

Me too.  I just get them from eBay in boxes of 10s from whoever has the best price  :)

This is what I did last time I got a bunch of strings. Speaking of stings... had my first experience with a hybrid set 9 - 46. Feels pretty good actually. I don't normally like 9's.

I've never tried a hybrid set.  Often tempted to give 11s a go, but I think the treble strings would be a but too much like hard work - maybe a 10-48 or 10-50 set would be good.
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

Philly - we are just launching our 10-50 set (like trebles from 10s and bass from 11s) - we have some sample sets in stock now
We still need a catchy name and some cheesy artwork from Vince Ray for the packet (suggestions for names welcome)

9-46 is my regular set for standard tuning, love it.

I'm a Pyramid guy myself. Hard to find them anywhere, let alone for a discount!

I agree with the eBay suggestion, when I used to use EB's i would get 12 packs for $30.

+1 on Pyramid, great strings that everyone seems to love who I've given sets too.  I buy them direct from Pyramid and keep some here for people passing through with amps.

dean markley blue steel strings are my favourite strings but in the UK the price is ridiculous, I once got two whole sets of 10 so 2 sets of 10 = 20 sets for just $40 in Texas!...it lasted me over 2 years, almost 3 years yet here they cost near to £7-8 a set....it's a joke!

Sounds like I need to ask my parents to get me lots of sets of strings next time they are in the US! For someone who is trying to be ultra careful on money outgoings the string price in the UK is a bit steep.
I think I hate being indecisive.
