If you like Ernie Ball strings, you are already here buying them. Eveeybody likes different strings, I like these, have used various gauges of them for years on all sorts of instruments and never had any problems. Adding to this - though I use these on a 7 string, I have put these on 6's too in various setups, so if you're looking to mix and match gauges for particular tunings it might be worth grabbing a set of these (or 8's) for some variety.
