Guitarists and Bassists: Strings?

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

What brand of strings do you use? Also, what gauge?

 

[Chromatose]

brand I've been using: http://www.webstrings.com/

fantastic strings, surprisingly enough, since it's really hard to beat that price.

Lately I've been using their medium/heavy set .011/.014/.018/.034/.044/.056 because I've been tuning to New Standard

 

[deathstrike from hell]

Ghs boomers. .40

My Dean Avanlance 7 string has dean markley .70

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I use 11 gague Eernie Balls. D'dadrios seem to last longer but I like the feel of Eernie Balls better.

Its been so long since I changed bass strings I cant remember what I use.

GHS Boomers.. Used them for years and cant seem to switch. I play around with diff gauges, lots of mix and match. But for a straight set from the store, I like the heavy/light set, thicker wound and thinner straight stings.

 

[Loner]

I use D'Addarios, 11-49 on one guitar, and 10-52 on the other. It's been quite a while since I've tried any other brands a shot, but the reason I switched was that the D'Addarios seem to last a lot longer than others I messed with.
I may try a few new brands out next time I order some strings.
My 7 string has EB 11-58 on it, but I don't play it much.

 

[Cat5Messiah]

DR 10s.

 

['Nife [Spirit Crusher]]

I like the D'addarios the most.. They tend to last alot longer then most other strings and they don't ever break on me. 11's-56's on my seven string and 10-46's on my six.

D'Addario 9s. good stuff

 

[Enemy242]

D'Addario 9s. good stuff

same, i'm thinking though of keeping 9s on my jackson that is in standard tuning and putting 10's on my ibanez that is one step down, d standard, whatever you call it.

 

[alphacorvus]

D'Addario 10-46s for my 6s and so far Ernie Ball 10-56s on my 7.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

DR 10s.

[Super Mahrio]

There's something to that which sounds a bit scary!
20 year old Dean Markleys- lites! Still sounding good.

 

[Vic Rattlehead]

Ernie Ball 10s, I used to use D'addario 10s but they broke too often, the strings I have now can last over five months and it rules.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

D'Addario 9-42 for my trusty Charvel.

 

[ThePhilosopher]

D'Addario 11 guage on my Gibson SG, Ernie Ball Super Slinky 10s on my ESP Flying V.

 

[FretsAflame]

d'addario typically - I usually buy the 7 string 10 guage set for my esp and omit the high E, tune to B standard.

I really like ernie balls though, considering going back to those on my ibanez...

 

[FretsAflame]

def go for 10 guage though, a good guage.
