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 ...
