Today, i made a cheap yet impulse purchase of the food-packet ernie ball gauge 9 strings. My guitar had a Daddario 10s on it and the unwounded strings lost all it's coating and starting to hamper the playability of the guitar. I'm quite a avocate for daddarios but this time, i decided to give E Ball a shot, and I'm converting from today onwards. When the strings were placed in, it felt really dry n matt compared to the more glossy feel of daddarios. After playing non stop for 5 hours, i really liked the way Ernie Ball performs.
Tone wise was really different perhaps of my habitual listening to gauge 10 sets. Unfamiliarity doesn't mean it's bad. But it's starting to grow on me.
The strings durability will be tested in time to come. I noticed one thing about my guitar strings which is peculiar from wat other's have described.
My string treatment
1)I change my strings once a month
2)I play everyday clocking at least a hour a day on good(bored) days till 5 hrs
3)I always get wet palms when I play.
4)I do not use any form of conditionals or make any attempts to dry-wipe my strings after playing.
5) I do not store my guitar in a case, I just let it rest along my amp.
Yet I do not seem to experience wat other guitarist mention on my local internet forums where strings do not last 3 days of gigs or starts rusting ard 2 weeks after stringing it to the guitar.
Shoutout to my best fren Kang Xue Ming. Happy 20th Bdae. and tat if i'm fat or unfit, i wouldnt be able to say tat at tis point of time due to civil enslavements.
