  1. EDIT: Actually, it's not the first three strings, High E, B and G strings. It's the fatter strings that I hate about the 10' set. I like those strings to be good and small to fit my hands. I've tried the hybrid strings, but the wrong strings were in the hybrid set lol. 10's are standard on most guitars, but 9's are the most comfortable size for me.

     

    And i think i have solved the problem, as i'm replacing the stop bar and tunomatic with a wraparound bridge. And I mean it's a tunomatic combo. It's not like the ones you can't adjust or anything(like on the sg jrs). It's temporary until i get a gibson.

     

    It'll all work out, I know it will. I'm excited to get my new bridge, I also got the witch hat knobs like on the late 60's sgs.

  2. what watt? I have a 25r and the distortion is 300% better than my hot rod deville. great for young' date='hendrix,i bought a boss metal core that solved my Sabbath distortion search.[/quote']

     

     

    I'm pretty sure it's 38 watts. I'll have to look on the back of the amp. It sounds pretty good when i play my sg on it.

  3. There's not a world of difference between a 50 watt and 100 watt amp' date=' half the watts does [i']not[/i] mean half the volume.

     

    Not like i can afford either one at the moment anyways. I could be happy with my 38 watt amp if i could get the sound i want out of it.

  4. you're going to get a marshall amp of AT LEAST 100 watts eventually? Why would you EVER need more than 100 watts?

     

    anyway' date=' if you want strings that last, you'll have to pay for them. I'd recommend D'Daddario EXP strings or Elixir strings. These are coated and last quite a long time. Another route: get string care products like fast fret, which help protect the strings and clean them.

     

    Now, when you say the ernie balls lasted two weeks, what do you mean? did they break after 2 weeks?[/quote']

     

    lol i don't know, 100 watts is a little bit of a dream really, 50 at least.

     

    Yeah the strings broke after a week or two. I think it was my bridge problem i had a long time ago. I haven't tried a set of ernie balls since.

  5. The title says it all. I've tried Ernie Ball, they never lasted two weeks, and Gibson strings. Gibson strings have lasted me a long time. What other brands out there are really good?

     

    --The thing about Ernie Ball strings, 1, i bought them from a local pawn shop(best guitar store around here sadly) and 2 i had my string breaking problem on the stop bar tail piece at that time(which is now resolved)--

     

    I'm on a tight budget too.

  6. I top wrap because I'll break my strings if i don't. If i just string through, the stop bar tailpiece cuts my strings. Top Wrapping doesn't really change anything. It hasn't changed my sound all too much. Nor has it damaged anything. I've noticed my strings lasted twice as long.. But it'll probably be different for other people.
