Strings. Which company?

[MrBump]

Ernie Ball regular 10s for me too.

I like Rotos.  Tried D'Addarios, and HATED them for some reason...

I occasionally buy a lottery ticket with the numbers 10, 13, 17, 26, 36, 46. Is that sad?

Just as much chance of winning as anything else!

Not as bad as using the number sequence from lost

I reached a point with Lost where

(a) I didn't know what was going on
(b) if I did know what was going on, I wasn't sure why it was going on and
(c) I didn't care any more

1,2,3,4,5,6?

1,2,3,4,5,6?

Yes, exactly the same chance of winning as 1,2,3,4,5,6.

[tomjackson]

Bet the jackpot would be lower though, you'd have to share it with thousands of other smart arses that picked 1,2,3,4,5,6!

I find Ernie Balls really clangy when you first put them on

[Stevepage]

Two string brands I don't get along with, Ernie Ball and Rotosound.

Ernie Ball - Sound good for all of 5 minutes, they become dead sounding too quickly and they snap more frequently

Rotosound - Sound good for quite a while, that's if you don't break them first.

I think I'm gonna try some pure nickel strings next, just to see what they're like.

same here :lol: I still watch it though, figure when I've watched this far I might as well watch to the end.

[Stevepage]

I think the guitar gods are giving me a sign to try something else, because now a second string has broken on the same set, this time between the nut and tuning post. Faaaaantastic.

[gingataff]

In summer I tend to use Eixirs to combat the humidity and my acid fingers.
In cooler months I like GHS Nickel Rockers (not a fan of Boomers at all), and I also use the BKP Rotos as I still have quite a few packs left.

[Stevepage]

Just gone with a set of GHS Burnished Nickel strings, also got myself some more Eric Johnson Jazz III's (they're much better than regular Jazz III's)

[gingataff]

I'm not sure if you've already seen it but there's a new type of Jazz III out with a Stickle Brick type grip on it.
I'm waiting for the XL version though.

Yeah the Max Grips, I was gonna try them or try and find the Carbon Fibre Max Grips (which are impossible to find), but the grip on the EJ's are just fine. They're a touch bigger too

LOL
I also use Jazz III picks but, the smaller ones and, no issues with hard picking or bending.
I guess you had a damned set of strings. Probably a bad production batch.
Did you complain D'Addario?
