Ernie Ball Not Even Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings - 12-56 Gauge

Product Information

Soundwise, the set may be alright to most, though I miss that touch of smooth elegance that I associate to the subtly rolled-off highs of the main competitor's strings: they're bright, which is what most want, though I'm used to not being among them most, and I'd like them a tad less bright then they are. Maximum Voltage Gain: 70 dB Ch. Mic input †’ Main Mix out & Tape out, 80 dB Ch. Mic input †’ Control Room & Phones, 60 dB Ch. Mic input †’ Aux send Drop C is pretty versatile, and works the same way that Drop D tuning works in theory. The two lowest strings work in tandem to make a one finger power chord. This means you can play faster riffs, easier. I also like that Drop C is a low tuning, while still keeping the guitar in the “mid range” of the mix. It’s heavy, but not too heavy. While you can probably get away using a set of strings like 10’s, personally I recommend going a little heavier on the string gauge. This will maintain the same feel as playing in E standard. I use Ernie Ball 11-54 to ensure that the strings still feel natural and not too loose or floppy.

Not Even Slinky Drop Tuning Electric Ernie Ball 2626 Nickel Not Even Slinky Drop Tuning Electric

To my surprise I found a lot of delight playing open chords with these "Not Even Slinky" strings. The strings sounds very full and perfectly balanced. I would suggest these strings to people who play country, jazz, ambient, etc. The strings are more diverse than one would think, and work for my needs. In the future I may change out the g string to something around 20 from the existing 24. I have used these strings for Drop C tuning on both types of scale lengths, and I find that this set works great for ANY scale length. The tension is near perfect for me, and they hold tune wonderfully with all scale lengths (I use them on my baritone also). So these are perfect for the riff enthusiast, and they are pretty balanced when it comes to using them with different scale lengths. If this is the first time you are trying to find strings for Drop C tuning, the “Not Even Slinky” set is the perfect place to start. This set is extremely versatile.

Likewise, if you like a certain band and you are inspired by their sound, then try out the tunings that they use.

Creating a custom set of single strings allows you to retain tension on the higher strings, while allowing enough twang on the lower strings. Gibson Scale – Single Strings (12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 60)

I didn’t have any tuning issues with the DR DDT set, and they sounded great. I used them on a short scale guitar, or “Gibson Scale”. These held nearly perfect tension across the board and were still great for playing solos. In fact, these didn’t FEEL as heavy as they are. Which is a very good thing! I'm a fervent, avid user of the original brand of coated strings for electric guitars. Used only those since they appeared, and I'm still using almost only those to these days. C standard is two whole steps down from E standard tuning. Like all of the other “standard” tunings, your chord voicings remain the same, as well as your scale patterns. It’s just LOW. While tuning lower definitely makes things sound a little heavier, alternate tunings are more than just that. Different tunings can be a “secret weapon” for your band. Utilizing different tunings can change the way you write a song or riff. I know if I am in a rut, I usually try out a different tuning to see if it opens any new doors to my creativity. Nine times out of ten, it helps me come up with a new idea!D’Adarrio is another brand that has been around for years, and are very trustworthy. I often switch between Ernie Ball and D’Adarrio as I think both companies make great products. However, the NYXL line of strings for Drop C tuning is something totally different than what other brands offer. Scales work the same way that they would work in standard tuning. You should use this tuning if you are familiar to chord voicings in standard, as it is identical…just lower in pitch.

As far as bands go, drop B is definitely not as popular when it comes to Doom Metal tunings, but there are a few bands that use it. And the bands that use it have an iconic sound because they are tuned so low. Some of these bands listed are more than just Doom Metal bands, but they certainly borrow from the genre often. Over the past month or so we have talked about Doom Metal extensively. And to be fair, we can probably continue to talk about it for a long time. Doom Metal is one of the only genres of metal that really hasn’t changed too much over the years.Drop D is the basis for a lot of the tunings that will be mentioned here. Almost all drop tunings are based on Drop D, just with different notes. There are tons of bands that have used Drop D: They also sound great to my ears. I have used coated strings before to combat corrosion, and they generally sound “dull” to me. Paradigm strings sound nice and bright, and they stayed that way for me, well over a month. I am not an easy person to impress, but Ernie Ball definitely managed to do that, and more! Ernie Ball artist and YouTube extraordinaire Ryan “Fluff” Bruce has shared an incredibly helpful guide to help you determine which string gauge is right for you. He takes into account a number of different factors, including scale length (Fender Scale [25.5″] or Gibson Scale [24.75″]), tuning, playing style and more. We want to make things even easier for you to find the right set, so we’ve rounded up some helpful images and links to get you all set up. We will take an in-depth look at each tuning, and describe how it works. That way you can decide for yourself which one is the tuning for you. Take note, that the lower you go, you will have to change your string gauge. If the change in strings is drastic then you may need to setup your guitar.

I work with a student who is a fan of Slipknot and decided to set a Reverend Double Agent W in Drop B (B F# B E G# C#) tuning with a set of these Not Even Slinky 12s. The ZEPHYR ZMX122FX accommodates dynamic, condenser, and wireless microphones in the first four channels, as well as keyboards, drum machines, and other instruments in the two stereo channel inputs. What's more, you can easily plug in your MP3 player, CD players, or audio from a DVD player into the CD/TAPE inputs. You also have two AUX sends that you can use to send streams of audio from your mixer to a digital effects unit, stage monitor, TV screen, or any number of sources. Choose the ZMX122FX as the audio central command for your live performances, home studio, or video suite. Pro Tip: Your guitar may require a setup when making changes to your tuning. There are tons of bridge variations, and guitar designs out there. But I have never had to make many adjustments for Drop C tuning on a fixed bridge guitar.

Power chords will now be played with one finger across the lowest three strings, all on the same fret. This allows you to play a little more fluid, and also a little faster. This also changes how you play scales a little bit, especially if you anchor on the lowest string.
