    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.

    They wear out fast enough (more than 9-42 of the brand I felt)
    9-46 is pulling my favorite tune on the fender guitars, strings acute allow a game very much alive, and the wound strings have a more punchy with a lower firing

    I prefer the tie 9-46, the difference is obvious in terms of rhythm ...
    Ernie Ball said this is a good choice

    I bought them one month ago. Before I was using D'addario EXL 125 and I can tell you that the price difference of 2 euros is worth it.

    I bought a month ago, before the D'addario EXL125 javais of pulling and even I can tell you that for € 2 more in my music store, the difference is

    Touch incredible, brilliant highs, clear, its obvious lack of bass strings but they are suited to my game, meaning you punk
    Obviously a metalhead wanting to avoid making the Drop D

    So I think I will take these strings as they really satisfied me

    I played in 9 / 42 and went on shooting still at Ernie Ball, it sounds to me no problem, the squicks (dplacement sound of the strings) are not louder than elsewhere and Longva face of such DM is not challenging ...

    For those who break them, often not knowing it is properly installed ropes and then if you change your tuning every day to play a particular song is also making use finally to the loss of the cot "brilliant" It does not change much but hey if you make so important aesthetics put gold leaf ...

    "I use these strings for almost two years.

    -What I like about them is they unppluged great people.

    -Before I put the Dean Markley because in the store closest to me it was only he and one day as a jsuis go to another store and I was taken as a and now I n 'uses it. I use them in drop D (r and C (do) to make mtal (black).

    The price-quality ratio is optimal for 9 euros is the best 50 strings.

    -It is sure that she repeat the choice without doing a eSite dja two years that I do.

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 also break trs little, which is good for the wallet and catch up a little price.

    I prefer their sound to the DM and addario, but it does not last that much, it tarnishes very quickly. The feel is rustic but less than the D'Addario, parcontre level corrosion resistance and strength, it's miserable, it breaks fast enough and it rust faster even with the fast freight.
    The squick this is pretty ...
    The price is expensive for what it is.

    For now I have not beat the strings ... EHX 10-46 advantage with only ...

    I use these strings for my tuning as follows
    I drop all the strings of half tone and the largest decline in a string of your

    That said, I play in drop C # and the set of strings is optimal for this tuning in rhythmic (under the guidance of a luthier).
    The 3rd string is not file even though it is rather large (initial "p" -> Pounded).
    I test the Not Even Slinky, a notch above even the o is certainly playable but still taut (bend hard).

    Their sound is neutral, Resistors good as the breaking of rope is trs trs rare (plutt knowing that I have a big attack).

    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. Not…

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 ...
