Can't find a seven string set that doesn't feel loose to me, so I go with the above.

Uni777 · Post by **Uni777** » 09 May 2011, 00:05

GHS 011 to 058 for guitar. DR RedDevils 045 to 125 for bass.

You should hear his H chords, though

You guys are fucking posers. Tune to Hb if you want to be taken seriously.

Anjel · Post by **Anjel** » 10 May 2011, 06:27

H was actually used instead of B in some countries way back. I have relatives that says H note and not B (like my mother, for example).

I see that now

I tune to BDGCFAD. Before this set I was using

+68 for low A (ADGCFAD then), and it was pretty cool for riffs. But, since then I started to use lots of trills on C and F strings for some stuff, so I wanted something more relaxed, and I must say that my current setup is killer

Not loose, nor too tight.

Desoppus · Post by **Desoppus** » 12 Jun 2011, 21:58

GHS 9-42 for E Eb D and B tunes

neckred · Post by **neckred** » 14 Jun 2011, 06:42

everyone should give some sort of nickel strings a shot, they really "pop" and keep their sound for a long while

LAVAGOD · Post by **LAVAGOD** » 08 Jul 2011, 02:38

56-11 for 7 string A# and 46-10 for Eb.....and 60-12 for drop A hehehhee

RitesOfPossession · Post by **RitesOfPossession** » 08 Jul 2011, 20:24

I'm now tuned 60 -12 for C -Standard. Nice and taught on the lower strings but not to heavy at the top.

[quote name="Toozey"]D'Addarios for the win 12-54[/quote] Got these as well as Ernie Ball 12-56's on my two geets. I think I prefer the D'Addarios. Really smooth feel and they last longer than the EB's for me.

I used Ernie Balls for a long time and they always snapped at the bridge. Maybe it's the strings or my technique is alot better but I've not snapped a string in years.

I had that problem as well with them.

Uros · Post by **Uros** » 17 Jul 2011, 11:57

I have never had that problem though, and I am using them on a regular basis

Syysysyd · Post by **Syysysyd** » 20 Jul 2011, 12:03

I've always used ernie balls for my 7 string but thinking about switching to these as the low B string is floppy as a cunt.

Uni777 · Post by **Uni777** » 20 Jul 2011, 15:29

A different brand with the same gauge might do the trick as well.

Ernie Ball are very loose. They aren't called slinkys for nothing.

D'adarrio and GHS have a higher tension. DR are nice too.
