How many frets can you bend your strings, Johnny Powerchord?

My favorite set as well, no wonder they got snatched up.
I lucked out years ago during a NAMM run when they had 10 for $30, so I got a few boxes.

My favourites too: I wouldn't normally mention such a thing, but it seems like such distinguished company.

My first reaction to this thread was "Ha! fucking Pussies..."
Then I was all like "Heeeeeyy.. I'm one of those pussies..."
Thanks for the head's up, Rob. Too bad they out.

10 rhymes with MEN. That is all.

They're what I've got on the Shortscale (just use D'ad 10s on 25.5" scales).

I have used the 11's for 10 years or so now, never needed to look elsewhere - great strings. I use them for all my guitars which are all full scale. You can often get 10 sets for £30 or so via ebay.

LULZ @ THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD 
Rob rocks the 13's. I remember I wanted to be just like Rob and put a set on my Bronco and my hands hated me and I regretted it (ultimately sold it and my rights in the Bronco club) but sounded great on the Jazzmaster (which I also sold). All strings rock depending on the application. I even found a soft spot for 10's on an acoustic recently which before would have been forboaden but the bends called for it. Point of this post is that there is no point; only strings.

i've switched from 11s on my shortscales to light bottom heavy top d'addario strings (10 - 52) and this suits me for what i need. I have 10s on the tele but might try a set of these when i change the strings next

Anything over .012 on a 24" or less neck is impossible for me to setup intonation on.

No dude, it rhymes with ten, SAY-TEN, like the Reel Big Fish song...oh.my wrote:And eleven rhymes with SATAN... almost. Think about it.Dave wrote:10 rhymes with MEN. That is all.

10s all the way. 11s make my fingertips ache and go hot.

14s/15s for the win.
In Standard tuning.
Usually try to get a 15 for sub-25.5" scale, but I use whatever I can find.
Can I has manlandz?

Do an demo of tone bend please

Dont have a video camera/mic, but I can usually get between a half step and a whole step on a High E bend, MAYYYYYYYBEEEEE a wee bit more if I really try.
I just prefer the strings to not feel like rubber bands.
The strings in the gauge itself aren't too extreme.
It's 60, 46,36,26,18,14/15
Would probably be good for lower tunings, but I dont usually tune lower.
