Do they have 9-46 like the Hybrid Slinkys? After years of switching between 9-42 and 10-52 and finding one too light and the other too heavy, 9-46 is proving to be just right for me. Thanks EB :clap:

Yes, D'addario do a 9-46 gauge.

If I recall correctly, they did them first. No-one bought them, and then EB bought them out so D'Addario bought them back out and now they have been a staple for years.
Yup - that's me and my pal Steve or little stevie vai as I like to call him. In Auckland airport when I was 26. I'm not 26 anymore.

I don't think so ... but I also don't know for sure. First I heard about it was here. Didn't look into it and didn't even get any for myself.

:(

But then I don't play electric so much anymore.

Nah, they're just extra extra extra light gauge. You just think the envelope is empty. ;)

I've put them on a neck through ibanez prestige, I don't know if if I could say they sound any different to the EBs I had on it before. They do feel 'stiffer' though. Almost as though they are a slightly heavier gauge.
Ummm....

Mine lasted about 20% longer than the normal DD 10s I use.

Yeah, they were all posted out the day after the PM. Yours have obviously gone missing in the mail.

PM me your postal address matman and I'll send you another set. I'm down to my last demo set of each of the two gauges.

When I took my SG to the K rd Rock Shop a couple of weeks ago the staff that played it thought I had fresh strings on. They were surprised to find they were plain old Slinkies that were several weeks old. I clean my strings every single time i finish playing. Keeps them good ages until they finally get to the point where they won't stay stable etc.
