    I used Ernie Ball Power Slinky(11-48) they were good but, now I play
    DR Tite Fit`s (11-50) and they have a better feel to it, the tone is
    the best I`ve ever heard and they last !!!

    Love them!

        I used Dean Markley for a long time and about 6 months ago I switched over to Ernie Ball.

          DR Tite Fit 9s. These are the best strings I have played yet. However I put Ernie Balls on my less-played guitars (Namely my Squiers) and they are great as well. I find the DRs to last longer and do better with dropped tunings though.

            I use D'addario or GHS, they're good strings.

              +1 for DR Tite Fit 9-42. I've tried a bunch like everyone else I suppose. GHS Boomers are a nice standby as well as EB's. I've resolved myself to using only these three as I can always find at least one of them on the shelf when I need them. I like the DR's best, followed by Boomers, then EB's. Sometimes I have tuning stability probs w/the Boomers but they sound good. Just don't last as long. They're dirt cheap to use for experimental purposes in a pinch. So are the EB's.

                      Used Boomer 9s, for years, but broke alot of strings. Got back into the game, switched to Super Slinkys, and can't remember the last time I broke a string. Right, for me.

                        I've used Ernie Ball's since the family started marketing individual strings. Later the packages came. I can't believe I used to buy my strings individually. I have used all the other's, the DR's are nice, the Boomers, Fender's, DM's and so on. It's all personal preference. I buy the Ernie Ball Slinky's or Power Slinky's in those brite flourecent packages, because I can see them! Man, I'm getting old.

                          I've loved GHS Boomers for over 18 years....

                          Are there other strings out there?
