Advantages: Great well known strings. Disadvantages: Suck with tone towards the end of their life.
INTRODUCTION:
First off these are guitar strings for electric guitars, acoustic guitars ( that are amplified to become electoacoustics with similar circuitry as electric guitars) But not classical guitars, with Nylon strings :-)
As with all products these days, a review on just plain old " Ernie Ball Strings " is very wide and open ! So I will be basing mine on use with the following products only.

EXPLAINATION TIME :
Right not a lot of that above will mean much to non-guitarists, or beginners so I ...
Advantages: Fantastically realised world, focused plot Disadvantages: Minimalist detail, not a cohesive collection
The Earthsea Quartet compiles Ursula Le Guin's first four novels set in the Iron Age styled world of Earthsea. The first three books of the original trilogy were published over four years, from 1968 to 1972. A fourth book was released in 1990, erroneously subtitled the last tale of Earthsea but it ended up being the springboard for further tales.
The four books are set in the known lands of Earthsea; made up of a central archipelago encircled by four polar reaches and the Kargad Lands. Areas outside the provided map are unknown; however a land of the dragons is speculated to exist in the far west.
Earthsea is mostly populated by a dark-browned skinned people. The white Kargs are given a slightly more barbaric presentation than other races, shown to be less literate and superstitious of the practise of magic. Different characters from ...
Advantages: lightweight, bend easily sound good Disadvantages: not as loud as heavy strings
as far or as easily. The extra strength needed to bend a .012 inch top string means that you will be pulling harder on it and there is more chance of de-tuning it.
Ernie Ball Super slinky strings sound good for lightweight strings, having a fuller and richer tone than many of the cheaper lightweight strings I have used. They also don't break as often, indeed, I have only ever had 1 top E string break, but that was during a live show and meant that I had to re-string in the middle of a show.
One of the reasons I like these strings is that they are very to get good finger vibrato from. I dislike tremolo units, like dear old Hank Marvin uses, preferring to get my sound by movement of the left hand on the fretted string.
Having returned to playing about five years ago, I found that the muscles in my fingers were not as strong ...
