what do you mean by "slinkiest" and "buzziest"?

if you just looking for good strings, check out Blue Steel. they last forever and sound amazing

Really? I thought slinkey and buzzy were universal terms. If you buy ernie ball strings itll say "normal slinkey" or "super slinkey", so I want more slinkieness... or something

you know what, just tell me what strings sound good and last long and look pretty and ill be fine

Blue Steel is the way to go. They're a bit twangy at first, but once they're broken in, its sonic ambrosia.

Talking

slinkiest? ok......

i would say that sr2000's are better for me, but i normally use nickel strings...slowounds...and i've heard lots of stuff about the TI strings, as well. strings are a hit and miss thing. you're just going to have to go out and try them.

"Slinky" is a term exclusive to Ernie Ball. No one else uses that word.
