Is everyone here using enormous strings?

Metal Ken · 04-30-2007, 08:37 PM

i use 9s with either a low .065 or a low .068.

For me, DR Hi-Beams -
9-56 for Bb
<<-- 11-85 for F on 'ol Potty

9-54 on 7's for me. Im a heavy trem user and I find heavier strings are great for tone, but they mess with the rubbery feel I like on the various Ibanez Edge trems. On OFR's I use 10's because the pivot feels fine with a slightly meatier knife edge, and on fixed bridge and/or tunomatics I use 11's.

11-14-18-28-38-49-74 tuned in Bb for me.

Jongpil Yun · 04-30-2007, 10:40 PM

.11-.64 for a consistent ~19lbs of tension (Bb Standard)

70 + 52-10 for me in Bb.

At the moment i' using either D'Addario or SIT strings, but i'm thinking about making a switch to Elixir but they dont make a 70. string

So i'm either going to change my gauge slightly to accommodate a 68. or just get a Elixir 70. bass string but those are $$$ for the bass strings.

I'm a (4-string) bassist, so I don't have much of a choice.

I use .95-.40

Kotex · 05-01-2007, 02:53 AM

I use 10-60's
Although I did like my 10-66's but I was scared I was gonna' break my nut like on my Wash.
I might move up to a 62-64 though.

Rotosound 10's. They are the shit!

Durero · 05-01-2007, 03:41 AM

My taste is thin low tension strings for a clear tone. I use gages optimized for my multi-scale layout - roughly equivalent to a set of 9's on the unwound strings and 10's on the wound ones.
