What's the difference?

hey...

anyone knows the difference between the numerous versions of Ernie Ball's slinky strings?

Beefy Slinky
Extra Slinky
Hybrid Slinky
Regular Slinky
Not Even Slinky (0.o)
Super Slinky

I've tried D'Addario and Gibson strings, now i wanna try ernie balls but.......... ?????????? LOL

I think it deals with the 'slinkiness' (elasticity) of the strings. The Super Slinkies are easiest to bend, more flexible, lower tension as opposed to the not even slinky which is at the other end.

Although I've played Super slinkies and regular slinkies and frankly not much difference.

its good sometimes to use Google and click around esp the manufacturers website.

you can learn quite a few things out there and ALSO be swayed by marketing bullshit.... :mrgreen:
