GMC Forum > Discussion Boards > CHILL OUT
Matt23
Just wondered what the most popular brand of strings is on GMC. I use Ernie Balls. What strings do you play with? smile.gif
Canis
Earnie Ball as well, 11's =)
Bogdan Radovic
Ernie Ball for my basses!! smile.gif Love those strings!
TreyDeschamp
So far I use Carvin strings and I love them!
utak3r
Martin and d'Addario - both .009" smile.gif
berko
Elixir, without a doubt (nanoweb)

I prefer superlight or hybrid 009-046 smile.gif
Velvet Roger
Always played with standard 0.10 d'addario's on my Ibanez, and since I have my Fender, I play with pure nickel blues DR strings 0.10.
Fran
Elixir here, other brands wear out very quickly for me.
Muris Varajic
Elixir as well, can't live without those. cool.gif
Ivan Milenkovic
Daddario 10-46, nice and bright, and never breaks. I buy them in 3in1 packs and change often.
UncleSkillet
Ernie Ball super slinky 9-42. Sound great and I am a tight wad with my money so 3.99 a pack is cool.
Ramiro Delforte
D'Addario 09

I usually get Blue Steel's whenever i can find them.
But my favourite strings of all time was a pack of Snarling Dog's 09's i had years ago.
Problem is that local stores dont carry them anymore sad.gif ..i could always order them from outside the country, but i'll rather save that extra money and go for the next best thing smile.gif
Mandos
Ernie Ball, various gauges and types (regular, heavy bottom, etc)
Toroso
D'Addario Jazz/Blues/Rock 11~49
Enucleation
Ernie Ball but Id like to try Elixir.
Outlaw2112
DR Black Beauties 9's... ive tried many strings and these are my favorite
Guitarman700
Please Add GHS, The only strings ill use!
enforcer
D'addario 0.11, it is cheap, sounds better imo, but corrodes pretty fast, thats why I wipe over and under of them quite often with a microfiber cloth, and always store my guitar on its hard case when I am not playing it. This way, string stays without corrosion two times longer then normal...
Disturbed21
I use elixirs. I'm still using my first pack i got a few months ago and they're the same as when I took them out of the Box! I love these Strings biggrin.gif
purple hayes
Rusty Brand.

At least that's how they look right now. ph34r.gif

I use Ernie Ball 009 thru 042 on my guitars with a standard Eb tuning, and 009 thru 046 on my drop D tunings.

I have used EB's for a long time. I like the consistency of quality and thats really why I stuck with them.

Oh yeah..... the price is good too smile.gif

Have you tried fastfret mate?


Makes regular nickel plated strings last twice as long, and stay more fresh in sound.


Toni Suominen
Ernie Ball usually, have to do some more experimenting with other brands in the future though.

I use Elixir, but I´d like to try Ernie Ball tongue.gif

I do like Elixir a lot (specially tone and durability). I just think they are a little bit hard to bend...
David Wallimann
D'Adarrio for me. :-)
audiopaal
Ernie Ball, most of the time smile.gif

That'll make...2x2... 4 times longer life for you strings!
The Uncreator
Dean Markley all the way, They have the best tone I think, And they don't break on me like most other string brands do.
Scorpiotic
Both Earnie Ball Super Slinky (09-42) and D'addario (donno which, came with the guitar tongue.gif)
Anyone have any recommandations for good metal/rock/blues strings? ^^, tongue.gif

Sensible Jones
D'Addario 11's and 12's for my Electrics!
I did use Dean Markley Stainless Steel strings for a while... lovely bright Tone but very brittle so I used to get a lot of breakage!

I use Martin 10's or 11's on my Acoustic instruments!!

Shadow21
I've started using 0.10's DR, and they are great! They sound really good, i recomend them.
del-4fr53e3
D'Addario regular 10s. Feels great (when they've been played on for a few hours), sounds great, and never break. smile.gif
fatb0t
GHS, DR
Marcus Siepen
D'Addario here since many many years. And Elixier for my acustic guitars
