Hey, so I've been using DR Hi Beams for a while now on my Fender Hoppus signature, and I think they're brilliant, but I kinda want to try something different, and I've came across D'Addario's Prosteels. I was wondering which you all think is better? I'm looking for plenty of ringing high end, with a good chime, but plenty of depth and body at the same time =)
I use .055- .110 gauge =)
Thanks! |

I now use sit strings power steels in stainless and the rock brights in stainless. I would definitly check them out. There brighter then the high beams. The pro steels weren't as bright as the high beams.

So it'll either be those, or back to the Hi-Beams =) |

Tylerwylie, do you know if they do a good 4-string set? |
