Delberthot Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 [quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1332846985' post='1593803'] The only time I've used anything else is some extra long D'addario XLs for my RD Artist for the through body stringing. Had a play with flats a while back - hated Rotos and Fenders, loved Thomastiks. Tried D'addario half rounds and didn't like them - felt sticky to me. [/quote] I've tried everywhere for these cos I love them too but they seem to have vanished. Currently I only use Roto flats £26 a set and they've lasted 18 months so far so that's working out at around £1.45 per month currently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either they've changed something fairly major in the last few years or you're playing a lot softer than I used too I absolutely wrecked them in no time at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.I. Joe Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I've tried Elites, Ernie Ball, GHS and D'Addario in the past but I always go back to Rotosounds. Worn in 66s, mmmmm.... Recently I've been trying Dean Markleys. NPS Roundcores are good but nobody in this country seems to sell them. After receiving some dud Blue Steels, I've just started using some brand new top-secret, not-yet-in-the-shops Helix HD SS strings (the A and E are also tapered) Review to follow once they're properly worn in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stag Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Elites 45-105 has been my standard now for 15 years. Nothing seems to last as long... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
