Ernie Ball Not Even Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings - 12-56 Gauge

Product Information

I noticed that my usually very corrosive sweat seemed to have no effect on the Paradigm strings. I usually change strings every two weeks, because they rust and corrode. These lasted me over a month, giving me twice the time I get from a regular set of strings. If you are just getting into Doom/Stoner/Sludge the Drop D tuning is where it’s at! Especially if you have played in Standard Tuning for a while. The low string being tuned down takes a little while to get used to. But it is definitely worth exploring! Personally, I’m glad it is being utilized in so many different ways! Drop C is a fun tuning to use for a myriad of different reasons.

Likewise, if you like a certain band and you are inspired by their sound, then try out the tunings that they use. BIAS FX 2 – If you want to run your guitar through your PC or Mac, BIAS FX 2 is one of the best ways to develop and create amazing-sounding tones. BIAS FX is an amp and effects simulator and it is one of the best in the business. Inexpensive and perfect for jamming and recording, BIAS FX 2 is one of my favorite amp sims for Mac and PC. PARADIGM continues our legacy of tone by pushing the boundaries of what a guitar string can be – stronger, more durable and longer lasting, without compromising the sound or feel. Our new state-of-the-art wire drawing process coupled with our patented RPS (reinforced plain string) technology dramatically increases tensile strength by up to 35% and provides up to 70% more fatigue strength than traditional strings. They also sound great to my ears. I have used coated strings before to combat corrosion, and they generally sound “dull” to me. Paradigm strings sound nice and bright, and they stayed that way for me, well over a month. I am not an easy person to impress, but Ernie Ball definitely managed to do that, and more!

Using the Beefy Slinky set with a 56 swapped out for the low-E (or even a 60!) feels fantastic. Gibson Scale – Not Even Slinky (12-56) This is totally up to your playing style, and the sound that you are going for. Personally, I like to play in different tunings because sometimes the sound will expand on a riff or idea that I have in mind. Or better yet, sometimes a tuning can help you come up with completely alien ideas!

A great middle-ground for size vs. tension. Adding a 60 on the low-E string can also provide even more “oomph” to the low end. Drop B Fender Scale – Single Strings (11, 15, 20, 36, 48, 60) As mentioned earlier, drop B is really low. Your Guitar will definitely need a full setup. I recommend “Mammoth Slinky” strings by Ernie Ball. This is a set of strings made especially for drop B or drop A tuning, and they work great. If you take a look at 7 string guitars (B standard) or baritone guitar sets, youll see that the Mammoth string gauges are pretty similar.Retains the feel of standard tuning even when dropped to a much lower tuning. D Standard Fender Scale – Beefy Slinky (11-54) So these are perfect for the riff enthusiast, and they are pretty balanced when it comes to using them with different scale lengths. If this is the first time you are trying to find strings for Drop C tuning, the “Not Even Slinky” set is the perfect place to start. This set is extremely versatile. Ernie ball make great strings. Whatever guitar you play or style of music you're into there's a set of strings for you. Buy with confidence: We're the only UK guitar retailer to offer a 3-year warranty & extended Christmas exchange as standard. These string tension may be a little more optimal in C standard (C F Bb Eb G C) or Drop Bb (Bb F Bb Eb G C).

Drop D is interesting because it changes the dynamic of how you play. But if you like standard tuning yet you want to go a little lower, then D standard is the way to go. Just like standard tuning goes from E to E… D standard tuning does from D to D. Using the 11-48 set with the low-E string swapped out for a 52 gives you all of the low-end chug that you need while still feeling like standard tuning on the higher strings. Gibson Scale – Beefy Slinky (11-54)Scales work the same way that they would work in standard tuning. You should use this tuning if you are familiar to chord voicings in standard, as it is identical…just lower in pitch. Still just curious, anybody know? If my nut needed to be opened up more wouldn't this problem have remained even though i went to a wound string? We will take an in-depth look at each tuning, and describe how it works. That way you can decide for yourself which one is the tuning for you. Take note, that the lower you go, you will have to change your string gauge. If the change in strings is drastic then you may need to setup your guitar.
