How often do you change your nickel strings?

Title says it all. I'm switching back from flats and it's been awhile. I like the worn in rounds sound. How often do you change?

Depends on how much you play. I'm using DR black beauties which are their coated Nickel Sunbeams. I played flats exclusively and love those strings. They will last months and they look sexy on my maple neck.

I don't have a set time period. It just happens on it's own when my brain says 'Man my strings ain't zingin' no more'. if I had to guess, every 2-3 months gigging 6 times/month? I don't know for sure.
