So Cheap, So Good

These used to cost like $4.50 at Guitar Center, so I'd come out with leftover money on my monthly string card! Super bendable and comfy strings, but they tend to break easier than anything else.

ghs BOOMERS

These are great strings, you can use them for any tuning, i have 2 guitars with boomers that are in C# , 1 guitar tuned in D#, and 1 just a regular E tuning, great all around strings

These are the only strings i use for either bass or guitar

jimmarchi1

D# is called Eb

hasan_ishak

it was my favourite string pack

as I said "it was my favourite string pack" but because of some reasons Ghs is not available in Turkey. I loved the way it feels and tone

The correct balance between mids, bass and brigth. Never break or lose tunning, just great.

[VG] What kind of guitars, amps, and effects did you use for the recording?

[ZW] The same old stuff I always use, which is pretty much the same stuff I’ve used since I played with Ozzy. You know what they say – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

I used 100-watt Marshall JCM800 heads, model 2203, with straight Marshall 4 X 12 cabinets loaded with 200-watt EVs. I used to have Celestions in my cabinets when I played with Ozzy and Pride & Glory. They were 70-watters and they were really loud, then I hooked up these EVs and I couldn’t believe how clean they sounded. It’s just pure guitar, and for the music I’m doing you need a lot of attack, and if you have the vintage-style speakers they really break up. They sound very warm, but when you get down to the low strings you want more meat. The EVs just sound so much better because I tune to 440 Hz and I’ll often drop my low E down to a B or an A. I use a custom set of GHS Boomers, .010 to .058, so it doesn’t get too floppy.

"Dave Dederer's simple, yet very effective, The Presidents of the United States rig started with a vintage Harmony H-802 guitar (bought for $40 bucks from PUSA drummer, Dave Thiele) that was loaded with two single-coil pickups and outfitted with two slider switches, and a single volume and tone knob. The guitar was strung up with "really heavy" Ernie Ball Slinky or GHS Boomer strings (.058, .046, .036.)."
