There was this same thread, but that's ok.....I use Ernie Ball strings on electrics.....Various on acoustics, and haven't chosen a favorite brand for my basses. I'll change gagues; currently 10s. Gibson uses softer fret wire than other brands, so they recommend a string brand higher in nickel content as nickel is softer than steel based strings; just some info if you hadn't known this...But yup, love my earnie ball strings !

 

As for despising any brand, not yet...I will not use fender strings on my fenders or gibson strings on my gibson; could be the rebel in me...Well wait, I did try fender strings years ago and they were just AWEFUL...

I use Rotosound Pure Nickel .011s on my LPs and Martin 80/20 Bronze .010s on my acoustic.

 

Reading through the replies so far I'm definitely in the minority...I really dislike D'Addario's. I find them way too bright-sounding. Just my personal set-up, I expect.
