ARG!!! I HATE 10's!!!

Frito's Better Half
I just busted my new QP because of that stupid little .010 e string. Dammit! and I cant play my usual 14's on this neck, because it's so thin, it cant handle the pressure, and I cant bend 14's on these vintage frets. ARG!!!!
 
Re: ARG!!! I HATE 10's!!!

What brand are you using? I use Everly B52s and I've never broken a string and I bend like a yoga instructor on ecstasy when I play.
 
Re: ARG!!! I HATE 10's!!!

Right now, I've got the B-52's that I got from a bud. I just cant stand 10s.
 
Re: ARG!!! I HATE 10's!!!

man, I hate 10s now. I just took the quarter pounder out and fixed it, but I cant keep doing this cause 10's wanna suck so hard.

somehow i am missing something here, what did the e string do to your pickup?

This is all part of the story of how Seymour got into pickup winding. He bent a note real hard, by pulling it, rather than pushing it. This caused the string to come down over the side of the neck, hook the edge of the pickup, and snap it off when it released.

So, I take it Bean was doing his best Seymour impression. :laugh2:

I would also think, now might be a good time to buy one of them thar' pickup covers. ;)

I did this heaps on my epi when I was still using it.
It has a 59/JB, so is that why my 59 sounds like ****?
 
Re: ARG!!! I HATE 10's!!!

They dont make pickup covers for QP's. And I wasnt bending, I was strumming, and the string didnt make a sound, and I looked down and it's hooked under the eged of the pickup lip on the QP in the neck of my strat. This wouldnt happen with 13's or 14's. But I cant play my standards on this neck and size frets.

I have that combo on my epi, the 59 sounds great (at least it does on mine)!!
 
Re: ARG!!! I HATE 10's!!!

How about... don't strum so hard? I think this is a wake-up call for your technique. Maybe you should start practicing with .008s? Piss you off, but make you a better player.
 
Re: ARG!!! I HATE 10's!!!

Why dont u just use 11's or geta thicker e string, 14s are excessively heavy who needs that, unless ure gona down tune to drop a.
 
Re: ARG!!! I HATE 10's!!!

Thanks for the tips guys, but to each his own, and I prefer 14's. They're just "me". I usually break anything else, since I'm incredible strong :D
 
Re: ARG!!! I HATE 10's!!!

Bean, You say you break everything but 14s. I understand you like what you like but,
Are you using a shovel or some other kind of farm implement for a guitar pick???
