.010-.046 on my SG (I'm too lazy to adjust the bridge to 9-42s, tune-o-matics are kindof a bitch with bridge intonation), .009-.042 on my Bullet, .012-.056 on my Kay.

Honestly, it's the ugly simplicity that makes me like Teles. And I thought you liked them anyway?

I am a HUGE believer in simplicity. Whether its bass or guitar I plug them straight into amps with tone that I like and then LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE. Footwsitch for distortion, maybe but not likely. I haven't bought a bass in forever that wasn't just a meat and potatoes passive bass.
As for strings- .45s on my basses, .12s on electric geet-ars and .11s on acoustic gee-tars.
I go through phases on bass strings, but right now I use Ernie Ball super slinkys. I tried DRs and they seem to go dead quickly, Markleys are too damned expensive for what you get, and boomers are OK in a pinch, but not quite as nice feeling or long lasting as Ernie Balls.
For acoustics- Ernie Ball phosphor-bronze all the way.
For electrics, I actually normally go with the DRs or GHS boomers.

I'm pretty sure he already said that he thinks ugly guitars can be badass.

I love guitars that I think are kind of ugly. They're still rad. I've owned a Les Paul, I currently own a Firebird Studio.
I use .10-.48 strings I think? I forget. Whatever the "medium" gauge is. Although I may put .11s on my ESP since that thing stays tuned to drop-C all the time.
HEY EVERYBODY IT'S GUITAR STRING TALK TIME
I've tried a lot of different brands over the years but my favorites are still Ernie Ball. Elixirs are nice, but they're more expensive and prone to breaking.

Playing .09s is admitting that you are a pussy
