D'Addario EXL110's for all my electrics. $3.01/set bought in 10 set box from the evil empire (MF).

I sometimes buy the MF house brand in the same gauge if they are on sale cheap enough but they dont sound or feel as good so i always end up changing back before they are dead

Thanks, just checked, about same as amazon UK, but 20€ ship! That's just silly. Not sure what the Amazon UK ship is.
yes but its a flat shipping rate. So its good if you buy lots of things

Ernie Ball 11-54 on my Tele, I like the feel of fat low E. Before, I used Fender Bulltes 10-52 - imho great string, kind of pain that Fender does not make them in 11-54 size... :roll: .

EB Slinky .01's.
I used to use S.I.T.'s, loved the quality and the extra high strings but overall the EB's have been cheap and reliable.

Used D'Addario EXL110's for 35 years. The best of the non pure nickel strings IMO.

I do like pure nickels at times and I find the DR blues have a solid sound with piano like bass and they do bend easier.

GHS Nickel Rocker 10's. I buy them in bulk by the gross in plastic bags.

The bass strings have a bit thicker core so they're stiffer and you can bang the shit out of them.
