JimmyPageZoSo56 Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 I love Ernie Ball Super Slinkys. I use them on all my guitars. they are the shit. anyone else? Quote
irg82 Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 I don't really like 9's. I usually use 10's or 11's. For brands, D'Addario. (<- Did I spell that right?) Quote
redeyedrichard Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 I asked myself from day one..."What does Jimmy use?" SUPER SLINKYs baby, Ernie Ball. nuff said. But I do use D'Addario on my acoustic. Quote
leddy Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Hybrid slinky for me, the same a super slinky on top 3 high and thicker bass strings on the lower 3 !! Quote

But I do use D'Addario on my acoustic. I have Ernie Ball Earthwoods or something like that on my acoustic. Jimmy used those too. He also used Ernie Ball 12-strings. Quote
RjK Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 D'addario 9's. D'Addario 11's for me, I would like to play a lighter string gauge but I pick really aggressive and I also use a 2.0 mm jazz type pic so for those reasons I play a thicker gauge. My Tele is set up for slide work so it is strung with 13's and the action is set higher than my Lesters. On the acoustic I use D"Addario phosphor bronze .012, .016, .024, .032, .042, .053. Not the heaviest set but again the lightest gauge I can get away with. RjK Quote
Trashbag Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 DR 9's. Ernie Ball strings break too easily for my tastes. Quote
Chicken Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I don't really like 9's. I usually use 10's or 11's. Yeah, I usually get Ernie Ball .10s. Quote
spatdrastik Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I use the ernie ball skinny top heavy bottoms..top three from a 10 set and low strings from an 11 10 13 17 30 40 52 Quote
Charles_Obscure Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 and Uncle Ernie's Super Slinky... Quote
Ma'at Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 D'addario or Super Slinky usually around about 16 gauge. Quote
Evster2012 Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 I've used Super Slinkys (sized 9-42) since I was a teen. I haven't broken a string in years. On some of my guitars, the strings are damned near a year old and they take whatever abuse I hurl at them. Quote
PJD Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Either Elixer 10's (nano web) or D'Darrio 10's. Ground Wounds on my bass Quote

On some of my guitars, the strings are damned near a year old and they take whatever abuse I hurl at them. In my last band I did almost 2 years of rehearsals and gigs on the same set of ernie ball's...never even bothered to carry a backup guitar or a pack of strings(I had about a dozen sets at home...lol whenever I'd go to my favorite music shop to buy picks(ironically I go thru those like crazy) they'd throw in a free pack of strings) Quote
daveboy Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I used to use Ernie Balls, but they kept breaking and they were too expensive to keep buying. so now I use D'Addario 11's. Quote

I want to know what the set that used to be on my Granddad's classical were, they must have been on that guitar for about 20 years and they were in in brilliant condition, considering. Quote
hold_no_quarter Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Super Slinkys are the shit. They're pretty cheap and I love the way they feel. But wait...did Page seriously use them? Quote
redrum Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 On my classical I play 'ZAYA-RUSO' strings. $2 a set and they sound as good as any expensive brand I've tried. They're made in the Ukraine. Quote
Jimmy 66 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 D'Addario 10s for me ............feel better and last longer than Ernies IMO Quote
Henrik Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 D'Addario 10s for me ............feel better and last longer than Ernies IMO Same here... great strings! Quote
