Hey, does anyone use those Ernie Ball Super Slinky ones? Do they make bends n stuff easier?

No difference, IMO.

I used to use them. Same old, same old.

I don't play anything bellow 9's. Otherwise I break em to much. I tend to have quite a hard pick attack. So I guess to answer your question.....No

I use slinkys sometimes only through personal choice, I can't stand D'addarios. What makes bends easier is practise, practise, practise

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...

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

LOL - dive bombs on guitars don't exist in the music I play or listen to...
