Ernie Ball 2570 Aluminum Bronze

I have these strings on a Blueridge BG-40 slope shouldered dreadnaught and play with a John Pearse thumbpick and fingernails. The LR Baggs pickup produces a great mixed signal which goes through some digital delay, chorus and equalisation before being split into a stereo amp setup -> Marshall AS50D and VOX VT40+ for the bass frequencies. The strings sound great for at least 2 weeks before they begin to lose their brilliance; dependent of course on how much one plays and how the guitar is stored. You get plenty of volume from the entire audio spectrum and quite frankly, these are the best strings I've had to date - picked or stummed with a fingernail. The wound G-string makes a world of difference to the overall tone; I'd never order strings again without. I did once by mistake and wondered why they sounded so dull... the wound G-string is the secret. After a couple of weeks, the new tone disappears, but they last longer than the other strings from Ernie Ball that I've used. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
