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. :D

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 ...

whammy bars are for dive bombing... anything up to 3 tones is all in the fingers mate...
