Is everyone here using enormous strings?

Karl Hungus · 04-30-2007, 12:53 PM

Nope, nothing huge at all...

I use 10-56 or 11-58 depending on tuning.

Shawn · 04-30-2007, 12:56 PM

I use 9-52s and always have. I tried 10s for a while but I like 9s better.

I was using a custom GHS set that went up to 70 for a while. It actually felt pretty good, but it wasn't necessary. I like to use a 10-56 set for my drop Ab tuning, and I freakin' love the 9-52 set I use on my Squier Strat VII for B tuning. For me, I just don't like how excessively thick strings sound. I've got an 80 at low Eb on my baritone, and while it feels great, I'm not really liking the sound.

I use .010 -.068.

But remember, I'm tuning to drop C and drop F!

10-13-17-26-36-50-68 down one half step.

Dormant · 04-30-2007, 01:14 PM

10-64 tuned standard. 9-42's for 6 strings.

Toshiro · 04-30-2007, 01:20 PM

9-46 with a 60 in Bb.

eaeolian · 04-30-2007, 01:20 PM

"Standard" 10-56 7 string set. I've had no low B issues with it, even though I'm down 1/2 step.

playstopause · 04-30-2007, 01:22 PM

10-60 for me.
