GMC Forum _ GEAR & PRODUCTION _ Mixed String Set

Posted by: vampire14 Feb 1 2009, 10:18 PM

ive benn having a problom for some time and i think i found a solution.
i like the the big crunchy sound of heavy string but i also shred alot.
so i thoght about buying a mixed set.
my question is.
for the three high strings im pretty sure im going with 0.09
but i dont know what to do with the rest.
i dont know what i should do with the D string. a 0.09 or 0.1.
and for the 2 others i dont know weather to take 0.1 or 0.11.
tell me what you think

There's a hybrid set of 9-52. In my opinion that would be a good place to start experimenting mate.

I've got a 9-46 set (elixir custom light) on my les paul. Works ok for drop D#/D. If you're into making bass players mad you'll probably need more heavy strings tough.

9 - 52 is great set ! I used to use it for Rock playing a lot. Highly recommend
