I don't either

But only because I don't like all the differently-colored ball ends. It throws off my color scheme, & in turn, my illusion of coolness. Can't have that.

I personally love D'Addario's. Just my $0.02.

Question And...

...if you're from Brussels(Belgium), do you you just call them 'sprouts?' I need to know.

And I just realized- Semborg, maybe D'Addarios don't like you.

Well, I like D'Addarios much better, and personally, I think Elixers are crap and sound dead out of the box and they last that way for a good long time. If the dead sound is your vibe though, Elixers do the best at that though.

Since we don't have a brussels sprouts forum, I am moving this to Strings.


One of my favorite strings was D'Addario Prisms. Too bad they stopped making them.

I don't like D'addario strings either, i bought a pack of Fender 9050's flats today, the "M" gauge 55-105. It sounds just like the way i want it too sound, couldn't be happier!

But i don't think i will buy them again because of the gauge, i want a lighter G string and a heavier E string. When i'm getting my Warmoth SCPB i'm gonna try those TI Flats i've read allover the strings forum, i know there lighter gauge but if it sounds that good, it's got too be nothing but good *Sorry for the long post*
