through a Tube Screamer & Marshall Super Lead. On a Strat with single coils these strings (to my ear) are a little
too bright, but then on a Strat with single coils i would be using
.11s; not .10s!
I have used these strings on the most important studio
and live gigs, countless practices, and late-night jamming. I have
gotten water, beer, soda and blood on them with the usual consequences!
:)
I have used them in unheated garage practices in the middle of winter
without any problem; the Fender strings i also used at the time - 80's -
would break very easily (or after warming back up in the house).
I have had some problems with their pitch straying (brand new sets)
during some of the outdoor summer gigs that i do - but it has only been
a problem when the temperature and humidity were very high. I
would tune 'em up at home and then before the gig when i check they'd be
out, but they wouldn't drift too bad (or at all) during the gig. I
wouldn't be surprised though if this were a result of the guitar/neck
expansion/contraction, and not the strings themselves.
I've never had any weird intonation problems or breakage that wasn't
my own fault (or my guitar). They aren't the hardest string out
there, but that's fine because i'd rather have my strings break and have
to be changed than have excessive wear on my frets!
The non-coated strings feel better to me than the coated strings i
have tried (Elixir). I have just never liked a slippery string.
I haven't had any problem with how long the non-coated strings last
because i normally change strings often, especially when i'm playing a
guitar alot.
I love these strings! |
