All user reviews for the Ernie Ball Nickel Wound Electric Slinky 6-String

I ride these ropes on my Stratocaster for ages.

It's comfortable, you can make bends without forcing, a ring of truth, when it is bright enough not rinse.

I recommend taking this for any guitar tune Fender. Indeed, this is what is standard (Regular Slinky), has meant that poverty has a lot going on around prs.

After a few weeks of using strong, a lot less crystalline sounds, it's time to change the strings!

I have tried other brands for electric scraper (not the type of Elixir strings), but I prfre this brand to others, they suit me better.

Please note even when I made the bends, I do rhythm in 10 years Stratocaster, I have not broken a string while I attack when even a little. Could it be solid?

- I use them for several days. But honestly, it's been 5 months that I simply had no chang (I had Ernie Ball 10-52).

-I find this string is very good because I slipped on my fretboard like a patient, the sound is prcis, and despite this drawing, you do what you want without the dtruire fingers.
What I like about you? For now, NOTHING, I collect t of the Ernie Ball.

- I tried other models (10/9-46, 10-52) in several brands, and honestly, it is the best quality at the point of view (excellent) and price !

-As I said, a really excellent quality for a price ranging from 5 to 6, which is nothing compared to other brands.

- Yes, I would do this choice, that is why I will buy me 3-4 paket at once!

Dean Markley fan since my early days in power, I switched to Ernie Ball OPUR should try to die as an idiot. yavait lot of pub, and especially the great Jaymz from 'tallica used them ... they were made for me?

2 times I had a broken string in the installation (or within minutes). Apparently lacking, but it had never happened before ... well, I even came home qd markley because I find them more comfortable for jouer.pour solos, the rhythm, keeping the string is more reliable in DM. strings paraisent less "rough" and more flexible (I play on 10-46). as I have seen on other coms, the quality goes down fast enough I feel, qq and after hours of play you can feel the difference.
not all need disappointed, I tried and it does me more. These strings are made for other styles of play, I would lean more towards the large metal riffs tuent.ou to a certain type of play, technical and hands.

- How long have you use it?

One week I had a game of rope a buddy pass it to me just before a concert, one of my strings was pete ...

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

Nice touch when they are new, but a hand quickly (5 days)
Its correct.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

I play D'Addario 09-46 and I tjrs t trs sattisfait of these strings. I also tried the GHS.

- How do you report qualitprix?

Bad, I have had a 10, even when not necessary DCON. 5.5 for a game I addario I find best.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

Yes, I think we should try a maximum of string to mark their choice. Now Ernie Ball is not for me. I play mainly Metal (LICA) and bah it's not transcandant.

This is a brand that is not in the lace in advertising ... so be it! Let's see if the song refers to the plumage.

Once mounted (Yamaha AES 820), what strikes me immediately is the attack of the game stretched string. The cleans are not his strong point, but it does not distort the sound so far in this exercise. The distortion sound is full with a good record in aggressive and a good offense. The feel is rather Raiche and may interfere with the fans of "démanchage". The rope was re released earlier in the day (3 hours of play). Then it was not even 1:30 later, the turn of the rope to leave me. The price of this game was conscéquent.

[3] I'm pretty happy to have found a game testosterone to the extreme registers. But reliability issues are unacceptable. I encountered the same problem on a second game (but on different strings). Avoid

Note [5] is the average home

I used it before and its strings long enough ...
I love the maneuverability of acute and life force is reasonable if not too much or abuse qu'n Fast Fret not ...
I tried Dean Markley, Blue Steel, the D'Addario and finally even the Elixir is my choice and Ernie Ball (the Elixir being very good but too expensive)
The report is good because qualitprix 6.50 euros for strings with a very good sound and a decent life is acceptable
I would do this if I had not much choice of attack ... I pass the model as DeSUS Reist evil in the end and I found them too soft over time ...
The only regret is very metallic sound when you just ride them, just give a half-step below, bender and then retune to play normally and there is a more metallic sound

- How long have you use it?
5 years, I used Dean Markley at the same time up there a year or so, since I will only shop o they have Ernie ball more regularly, however I kept the 'used to have two games advances.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
What I like most is the sound DEFINITIONS, really enjoyable, and powerful prcise, although dynamic, but also, in addition to the quality that incredible comfort a. In the first game you feel really comfortable, agreements enchainent dlicatement, without much Ffort without burning your fingers (see: Dean Markley "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEE> _ <" after a APRS noon good game). The game solo is simply the most enjoyable I test techniques with a legato enchainent dconcertante ease, tapping is also carried out aisment.
What I like least is when my store has more Ernie Ball 10-52 and I gotta tapper of Dean Markley ...

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
I did a year Elexis (RAM jett money by the windows, but I did not test anything right now l), I pass by Dean Markley (standard), then my luthier told me to pull the Ernie Ball 10-52. I really apprci even if I hurt your hands first, I got accustomed to. As I said above I alternated with Dean Markley more by obligation than desire, I had never not such a big diffrence in quality since I am also pass on 10-52 deuxime my guitar. First I install the Dean Markley this dernire that left me a bad feeling trs sensation level (I thought the same as c'tait of vibrato saw my first re did not), then switch back to Ernie Ball I by the bluff t his is the sensation, everything seems so simple for such a beautiful sound ...

- How do you report qualitprix?
6.95 play rope Jericho Lille (they have a website if you want verrifier), in the eyes of the quality and time that I could pass play by feeling as much fun, I would say all it's simply THE best quality price.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
I do it again for 5 years in which this dernire anne continuously with 2 sets of line per month (one of my guitars chaqune) because the price you can afford it frankly, but especially for quality that I do that. In fact I think to buy a pack of 10 sets of strings at once to be quiet a moment ...

For the person who had a problem fairly quickly, yes it must be frankly dfaillant a game, because it never happened to me personally.

I use these strings for the past three years on a Charvel Model 3A (body and neck while stocky, Bolt Seymour Duncan) and a gibson SG faded 3 (body and mahogany neck gibson 490T al 3 doubles), and I must say that these are the strings that pleased me most. They give her a trs brilliant, but which does not have a sound fade when the strings are a little tired. Idalie for all styles of music muscles without refuse a good little blues ^ ^. Their touch is soft and trs trs really enjoyable. The voltage is idalie my taste: serious steep in good rhythm and occasional drop D, and flexible enough for sharp bends right ^ ^.
I test the D'Addario, Dean Markley, Elixir, skull and what strings are those that suit me the most ^ ^.
I also break trs little, which is good for the wallet and catch up a little price.
I would do this choice

"I use this set of strings for a little over a year.

"I love the touch of the strings is really enjoyable trs, even in 10-52, which is one dj taking reasonable enough, no force at all to break the agreements , etc ... arpges
The size of these strings gives a surplus of low power non ngligeable to nag that I am, without losing brightness and precision (the difference, such as GHS Zakk Wylde, yet Chres more ... but hey, they have their own intrts.)

-So I tried Skull String (not personal like), GHS Zakk Wylde (pulling too hard for me and too heavy), and other tie Ernie Ball (very good too, but I The 10-52 is really my thing!)

Less-than CHRE Skull and GHS strings, but a good 10 euros the set of string, I find it has given so far ... (but the guitar strings, it's expensive, period .. .)

-Of course I Rasht!

How long have you use it?
Twenty years ...

What is so special that you like most and least?
I think it is clear that if I use them for so long is that I like much the sound that touched the strings ... when they are new. The big problem: after one week, two in the best cases, they are rinsed (I must be particularly sweet, I know). I do not put a 6 because of that, if they held a little better over time (say a month), I made an 8.

on the other hand - and in fact it is mostly why I give my opinion - I have almost no problem of breakage (it's been years that I have not broken a string), yet j Attack (very) strong, I bende more than one tone and a half short, I tell them is tough. Notice to those who come to break in two in a few hours there is a pb of your shovel or you do not know about it.

Oh also: they sound of thunder on my vox custom 24 (round type humbuckers and Gibson), but very disappointing on the standard vox 25 (maple neck SSS strat-like), which sounds much better with blue steel DM (even taking at the moment). Will I try the blue steel on custom at 24! -)

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Yes, and I continue to try other occasionally.
How would you rate the quality / price?
Thomann the price, it goes. Store at the price, it's expensive because of their life ...

EDIT: oh yeah, I forgot to mention: I play mainly heavy rock and blues ...

How long have you use it?
For about 2 months

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Cords and flexible enough don, the trs good balance, contrast, strings tarnish fairly quickly (one month), which in no n'altre the quality of the strings.

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Not really: 3

How do you report qualitprix?
Excellent: a set of strings the same for 8-9, frankly, there's nothing to say!

Exprience with, you will do again this choice?

</div>

- How long have you use it?
2 months

- What is so special that you like most and least?
The +: very bright harmonics, the price (€ 8.50 the set of strings), good elasticity
the -: life really not very economical low (the strings lose their shine after one or two months, but I clean them every time), lack of responsiveness, rather serious weaklings (normal for the 8 38 ...)

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
D'Addario better than my hard as a rock from my original scratched (9 42) but well below my current Dean Markley Blue Steel (10-46 It is to say ...). I also tried the DM nickel steel guitar on a guy in my group, I find these equivalent but still much more responsive, and wearing more slowly (but also more expensive).

- How would you rate the quality / price?
The game is worth the € 8.50, but I prefer to € 10 in DM, which will keep me for several months rather than having to buy a new set of Ernie Ball each month ... Not very economical in the long run then.

- With experience, you do again this choice?
Perhaps on other rods so, but in no case défairont me of my Dean Markley.

For how long have you been using it?

A few months ... Since I will not let go

Did you try many other models before getting this one?

Yes, a certain amount

With what (s) guitar (s) do you use?

A Jackson Dinky with JS32R Foyd Rose and a Squier Stratocaster, for now ... ^ ^

What thing do you like most/least about it?

What I like most: that life, quality, sound, 10/46 drawing, which is perfect for rhythm or solos, especially the playability is perfect
what I like least: is the brightness of the strings that relatively quickly, but it is a detail from others, it does not play on the sound quality

What is your opinion about the value for the price?

A bit expensive in stores, I recommend to buy on the internet

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?

Without hesitation, I probably would not change a string of ever ...

For how long have you been using it?
I use these strings for 2 months and I am a new guitarist since!

What thing do you like most/least about it?
I love the thick ropes to the rhythmic and small for solos. It's really ideal for me, I play progressive metal tendencies and I'm only a guitarist for the rhythm parts while the thick ropes have a high output and perfectly round, then for small solo strings are easy and they bender release a high quality outstanding!

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I try many different models of strings on different guitars and also since I played with Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky 9-46, I put on all my electric guitars and they give a perfect finish on both a Jackson Dinky DXMG, Esp-Ltd M-50, Fender Telecaster Thinline, Kramer and even on my first guitar, a Yamaha Pacifica 112.

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
For about $ 7, I'll have to buy me before!

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
I do not emerge with the Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky 9-46.
