What strings do you guys use?

I use D’Addario 10s. I got a pack from stew max that’s gonna last me a lifetime.

I also use flat wounds 12s (or 13?) on my Reverend for a thicker jazz tone.

For folks who use flat wound: do you use these for everything or just a specific genre?

Everything but I don't get anywhere close to metal or anything.

Doh, I can't say "Everything" even though I'd liker to
I'm using roundwounds on one bass, bought Supernils on a whim, but I prefer Evah Pirazzi flats on all my other basses (kept breaking the Obligatos)...

I use EP solo set, "bumped" ie I tune them to regular pitch.

Stringjoy all around. Signature Balanced 10s on all the electrics not sure the gauge on the acoustic.

Tried one pack and within the hour ordered a dozen more. Love them, they sound great and coherent. Won’t go back to Ernie ball.

I prefer D'Addario XLs for their tone but since I mostly play custom sets made up of singles it gets kinda pricey with those. Ernie Balls singles are much more reasonably priced so that's what I've been playing mostly.

I use flats for doom metal and everything. I wouldn’t use them for other genres of metal though

XL or NYXL 11's for me. Anything less than 11s feels like mush after 10 years of using them. Also, a 3mm pick
