I use the heaviest gauge i can get on my jag, because the guy i bought it from said heavier strings keep the bridge from buzzing.
Meanwhile, my tiesco uses the lightest strings i could find, because it's ply, and the neck join is maybe 5mm thick.
I'm not picky about brand.

I like my strings old, not so old they rust, i take care of them to prevent that, but old none the less, maybe its because im a bassist

On my basses i use a light guage, something like 45-100.

Anyone here use flats on a guitar?

I haven't used flats, but I'd like to on my guitar after next.  ;) 
Right now I use  11-49 on my standard tuning ax, and 14/14/28/28/38/38 on my funny stuff guitar.

I gotta get a new guitar, tho.  I'm starting lessons, so i need to get something to play righthanded so i don't confuse beginners.  I guess being ambidextrous aint that bad after all!  It's gotta be thin and audible unplugged, so I'm looking at getting some old low/no name archtop or semihollow.  Anyone have anything they'd like to let go?

P s, I'll post pics of mine as soon as I get em.  At least the tele I built.  <3

a .65 bass string for the low B. It works extremely well.

I've been thinking about doing this since I got mine! It seems like the regular-gauge B string doesn't put out as much volume as the rest of the set. Adjusting the pickup pole-pieces helped, but with a 25.5" scale I bet a bass string would sound really tight, especially since I dropped the B down to an A.

(god I'm a nerd)

The Gauge on the low B has always been total science, really. You have to find the right balance.
For instance; if it's to thick, it'll sound all woofy and muddy. If you have it too thin, it'll buzz and flop like there's no tomorrow.

First of all though, and I believe you've heard this a squillion times before, change the pickups!
Stock pickups in recent day Ibanez models have been known to be less than impressive, although with sufficient tweaking of the rest of your gear you can make it sound cool.
I for one, managed to squeeze a fairly decent out of an RG7321 i used to own.

I used a POD Xt, directly into the computer, and I nailed a pretty cool Meshuggah "Nothing"-style tone.
This can be heard, here:

http://download.yousendit.com/D472737A432BD329

The guitar was tuned down 1 1/2 step for that clip, by using a regular set of .12's, plus the .65
I had bundles of fun with that tuning  :evil:

That said, I would think that a .60 low B would be the absolute minimum, for dropped A. I don't quite know how the string tension feels on an RG1527, it's fairly loose on S7420, which is why I upped the gauges, but it was a little tighter on the RG7321. I don't know if it was the fixed bridge or what.

Playing .09s is admitting that you are a pussy

When I was in high school, a kid called me a pussy for playing .10s.

Right now, I'm using GHS Boomers, .12-.52. I keep my Firebird in D standard, so it works pretty well. Used to play Ernie Balls, both .10-.48 and .10-.52, but they broke way too often for me.

11s don't break nearly as often, sound drastically better, and are maaaybe two weeks harder to bend multiple strings.

I don't know if it was the fixed bridge or what.

Yeah, I definitely need a different bridge pickup in there. I actually like IBZ neck pickups, but I'll probably toss a JB or a Custom in the bridge when I find time.

String tension is pretty much normal for a fender-scale guitar, since every other string is in standard tuning. I think I'll mess around with the string gauge on the B when I put in the new pickup, since I'll have to take the strings off for that anyway.

The polepiece adjustment DID help, though. This is what I've been working on lately and I'm a lot happier with the string balance on it. And yeah there's a total Meshuggah ripoff riff in there.

My brother paired the cheapest, crappiest bass with the heaviest strings he could find for years. He got a Geddy Lee jazz bass recently and put some "light" strings on it and it's ridiculous how much better he sounds now... although he still practices on the POS bass with the stupidly thick neck. I guess there's something to be said for practicing in way worse conditions than you actually play under. His finger strength is disgusting now.

I play 9's (ernie ball slinkies are my favorites) . My guitar is set up to use that gauge so if I wanted to play anything diffrent I would have to get the neck adjusted.
I break strings a lot, but I like the twangy sound I get out of the ligher strings.

JAILBAIT THREAD GOGOGOGOGOGOGO

In not-fucking-around news, the only way you can play 9s and not be considered a complete and total LITTLE GIRL is to use this specific set of 9s.

I guess there's something to be said for practicing in way worse conditions than you actually play under. His finger strength is disgusting now.

Agreed. My Kay (the '53) has the action set literally 3x as high as my dad's '37 Kay, and every time I play the '37... shit, it's like I was used to slicing frozen butter with a VCR, and then transitioning to slicing thawed butter with a straight razor.

I'm sorry, so why exactly is one a pussy for not snapping strings? I prefer the sound of older strings to new ones. New ones are too bright. Plus, I tend to have strings from different packs on my guitar at once. It makes for slightly different tones.

A set of 13's tuned to C# would have very snappy tension on pretty much any axe.

Personally, i really prefer the whole light top/heavy bottom thing. Works perfectly for me!

Let's talk about necks.

I can't play classical nylon-strung acoustics because the neck is so damned wide and I can't friggin' handle that inward-curved fretboard. I have long fingers but I'm so used to necks the width of my electrics that it's nigh impossible for me to play those damn things.

I also prefer the 24.74" scale length because I don't like a whole lot of sustain, as I've mentioned before. I can reach just fine on a 25.5 but it sustains too long for my liking.

So, I just changed my strat from 009ers to 011 to give it a try, and the bridge suddenly lifted a whole bunch. I like the playability a lot more, but is this freaking normal?

I tuned it, the intonation as well, still lifted a lot more than it was when I was using 009. I know the tension is a lot harder, and whatnot, but I don't think this is normal, and I'm afraid to get hit smack with the bridge in the face while playing it.

Also, I'm scared to use tremolo now.

Man, I am posting in here a hell of a lot.

Just open up the plate in the back and tighten the screws that hold the spring plate. That should help get your bridge back to normal.

I should also suggest adding a couple of springs to the tremolo once you do that, and then re-adjust the spring plate, just so you don't overstress the springs you've got (most stock Strats only have 3 installed at purchase).

Sheratons in black are perfect. Dear god.
I hate you so goddamn much right now. I love Sheratons.

I know. It sounds glorious. When I bought it (it was only like, $550) I got to play one of the $2000something Gibsons, and to be honest there wasn't a huge difference. Mostly electronics.

Anyone have any experience with Gibson Marauders (Wikipedia it if you don't know)?

I see them going for wicked cheap on eBay all the time, and they look pretty badass, but I'd like to hear some opinions before I make any decisions.
