Ernie Ball Super Slinkies, 9 - 42 What are you using for fingers, Arthur... steel pincers?

9's and 50w marsh valvestate. Gerrit turned up

How did ya audition go BTW? Looking forward to seeing ya all in action.

You may find this hard to believe but I haven't change strings on most of my guitars for about 18 months until this last week or so!

Seriously! ok they get a bit filthy & sound a bit dull but they never break (good thing about thicker gauges)

I started off on 9's and just worked my way up, far better tone with 11's & 12's.

Btw Stevie Ray Vaughan apparently used to use a .016 on his top E before he settled on .013's on his Strats and goodness knows what else on the rest!
He may have been tuned to Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb, but still it would have been like bending telegraph wires.

I buy 'em in bulk 24 sets a time off ebay from a florida company, take less than a week to arriva free postage too....work out about £2.99 a set which is pretty VFM when ya pay well over £5 a set in the UK.

£2.99!? Sounds like a bargain. The Rotos aren't that cheap I guess at £4.49, still cheaper than the Les Paul Gibson Vintage Reissues I was using, now @ £6.49! gone up a quid already I see.
Fook!

Alias - I bought another set of D'Addario Custom Lights for the electro acoustic and we are back in business.

Soz again mate, I should never have let Yellowcake try his hand at tuning your guitar.

I went to look for a new amp last night, but the search was fruitless.

The audition went well; I just played to the CDs. I thought Shaggy was going to kiss me.
