Advantages Cheap, good value
Disadvantages not the best tone
Ernie Ball strings were the first strings i ever bought. Why? Because those were the only make of strings i knew when i was a kid, coz a friend used them, and he used them coz he knew someone else that used em, and so on.
Ernie Ball make good strings dont get me wrong, but there not the best.
There are so many different sets out there, and even within brands like ernie ball you may find you like one set, but dislike another. (eg: i would buy a set of Skinny top/Heavy bottom over a set of super slinky).
Overall these strings are good, but if you purchase them try experimenting with different sets to suite the way you play. If like me you find Ernie Ball strings a bit twangy then maybe you can try another brand such as D'Addario.

A quick check of my husbands spares shows "Rotosound" NP 010 (www.rotosound.com); 1 set "Cordoba by Hohner" standard tension; 1 set "Martin & co" medium 80/20 Bronze; and 1 12-string set "Martin & Co" extra light 80/20 bronze. Never heard of Ernie Ball - and he doesn't seem to have any. jes ≈≈≈≈{; -)-{{:::{||||||<</html>
