No difference, IMO.

I use slinkys sometimes only through personal choice, I can't stand D'addarios. What makes bends easier is practise, practise, practise
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Bends ? What are whammy bars for ?
I have two sets of "Pure tone " Strings that I am never going to use. Size 10. Gone back to my old favourites BB King reissues.
Free to a good home, PM me if you want them.

whammy bar?
My Strat came with one, but it's never been on since I bought it...I've pulled the trem bridge right down to make it hardtail.
Let the fingers do the talking...
He hit a chord that rocked the spinet and disappeared into the infinite ...
