favourite electric strings

[klover]

Come and share your favourite electric strings and why..!

mine are d'addarios 10s.. have tried other brands but i always come back to d'addarios. haha everly strings are not bad too but somehow imo they lack the feel and mojo of the d'addarios but i just can't put a finger on why. haha PLUS john frusciante uses them.

on an aside, anyone tried the dean markley blue steel electric strings? how do they fare?

i have yet to find my favourite, because i have only tried Ernie Ball Slinky, Curt Mangan Fusion Matched Nickel Wound and some martin string i forgot what model.

next up gonna try La Bella hard rockin steel...

hmm how do you find the ernies, curt mangan, and the la bellas?

the ernies were very normal strings to me..

[klover]

[wayne1991]

i bought from davis around 8
they last quite long ah..
the tone is quite bright and twangy..sounds slighty acoustic to me
just give it a shot
