I Love these strings

These strings supply heavy low end and definite highs. The thickness of the strings are great. The 52 gauge 6th string is great for Drop-D, and it also gives normal tuning a nice low end crunch. I'm never going to buy another kind of strings, and if I do, it will be Ernie Ball. *A major Plus+--they're made in America.

Great strings!

I currently use these strings on my Yamaha Pacifica. They are incredible for downtuning, and even with a trem arm they stay in tune fairly well. I like the fact that the uppers are still thin enough to bend, and the thicker bottoms have great tone. I have also used Super Slinkys, Regular Slinkys, Not Even Slinkys, and D'Addario XLs. These are the best by far.

ANYTHING FREE SUCKS. my friend had skiny top heavy bottom strings and i was at his house jamin'. I couldn't beleave how good they sounded. In comparison anything else just make inadiquit noise.

pretty cool

I bought these things yesterday and put them on my LP. It really is nice how you can bend but still get a killer shredding sound on the lows. However, there are drawbacks to them, the sound is good but not killer, and they are too big for the nuts on most guitars, it broke part of mine actually. All in all though, it was a very good idea from ernie ball, they are good quality strings, and they do their job, they just may be too big for some. If you play purely metal or hardcore though, these are the way to go.

I started using these strings not too long ago, but they are definately my favorite. I used to play alot of metal and these were great for it, but now that i'm playing in a punk band i can't say I like them. I recommend for anyone who plays metal, but not for punk or some alternative.
