Ernie Ball 2627 Beefy Slinky

I just ordered the Ernie Ball 2627 Beefy Slinky for my Fender Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster. I always had some problems with fret buzz, even the buzzstop couldn?t help. After some research I found out that I need some more ?beefier? strings in order to stop a Jazzmasters? fret buzz. And the Ernie Ball Beefy Slinky really helped in that case. All of the fret buzz is gone now. I?m used to play Ernie Ball Super Slinky or Regular Slinky so I?m really glad that I didn?t need to use 012-gauge. The quality and the of the strings is really good as you can expect from Ernie Ball. They stay in tune perfectly and are really durable. I?ve got them for about half a year on my Jazzmaster and I can?t complain about the sound. As far as my jazzmaster is concerned, I will always use the Beefy Slinky.

Lately I've been finding myself ordering a pack of Beefy Slinkys with every guitar I get. They've become my go-to set of strings over the last couple of years. They're cheap, yet hold their own in the string world.
Granted, they're a little treble-heavy, but even over time as the strings stretch and your oils dampen the string a bit it becomes less of a problem, although at that point it's time to get new strings. However, that's just a minor nuisance that can be remedied through EQ.
The Beefy Slinkys are also versatile tuning-wise. I've had them in all kinds of tunings, from E standard to C# standard and drop B. Below C# standard they do start to get a little loose though, so I'd go with a set of 12s below that. It's tougher to do bends on the higher notes in E standard but it's a good workout for my fingers!

Overall, if you're looking for a good and cheap set of strings that aren't too tough to play but aren't too flimsy, the Ernie Ball Beefy Slinky is the way to go, in my opinion!
