Which strings are the best for you?

[dannyr]

I've been using D'Addario strings for 20 years. No complaints.

im enjoying the DR Extra Life strings...in black! they dont sound as twangy right out of the package, and they feel nice and slippery so you never have problems sliding around. tone is great. ive gone through GHS, D'Addarios, Dean Markleys, SITs, and the JustStrings.com bulk strings. all worked well and i never had a problem with any, but i like the DRs best.

String are strings there are only a few manufacturers the rest are package by whoever markets them nickel or steel. The name brands you just pay for the marketing .

Any decent nickle string, but i usually buy Ghs boomers because those are what i can get the cheapest.

Exactly. I've been using 10-46 GHS Boomers for like 20 years. Now I use Carvin strings... they're, in fact, Boomers in Carvin packaging, and less expensive.

Yeah, we need something fresh to talk about. So... hmmmm... what picks are you guys into?

I like to pick my seat then pick my nose.

You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose. But you can't pick your friend's nose. Well, maybe you can. But that would be just oh so wrong.

Let's discuss what replacement pickups to get.:ROTF:

I used Ernie Ball Extra 8's slinky since I was about 16 so about 20 years, I just switched to DR Extra Life Black Beauties 9's great tone still a thin good feeling string with much more life to them. Yeah I used 8's for along time :ROTF: people say they have no tone to them or they're real Tini, but I use digital rack gear & a GNX4 so my sound is really processed anyway The Dr's make it that much easier for a fuller tone.

Dunlop Tortex Pitch Black Jazz III's...1.14mm!

i have used ghs boomers #9 for years, i have tried others and these give me the results i like on a consistant level, and i too use tortex heavy guage picks. they never slip no matter how sweaty your fingers get

I use Ernie Ball Super Slinky's. I used to use DR tite's, but they wouldn't last on my guitars for some reason, about every 3 weeks, they would snap. I've had the Ernie Ball's on my Model 4 for 5 months and they still sound great. As for picks, I use Dunlop Tortex 1.14mm's.
