Brightest sounding strings?

[nottswarwick]

Ok, so I am investigating strings. I need a really bright, cutting sounding string. Currently I use EB or Dadarrio nickel, or Rotosound steels, but none of these seem to be especially bright to my ears.

Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

If you can find them - La Bella Hard Rockin' Steels.

Ooooo thanks.

They have a good name at least

I'm using D'addario Prosteels and they sound pretty cutting to me. More so than Rotosound and Ernie Ball I think..

[nottswarwick]

Nice

I also am interested in the elixir steels, as my sweat is really corrosive, and their products work well for me n my acoustic 6 string.

Do they last well?

[Slatfatf]

Yes they do.

[nottswarwick]

Thanks. Case closed then I guess. Reaches for wallet.

The roto nexus that I use are plenty bright. Nice trebly sound and coated too.

Another vote on the D'Addario Pro Steels, they seem to last better than similar priced strings and they're nice and zingy!

I recently switched from Elixir nickel to the stainless range and they are not only bright, but stay that way for ages. D'Addario Prosteel strings are a very good cheaper option. I use them if I can't get hold of the Elixirs if I am in a rush.

D'Addario Prosteels are the brightest I've used. Elixir steels are not far off at all, and they will last you more than one gig too!

Err bit late, but yes they do last well and are good value too, I get mine from Stringbusters online

it is Elixir Steels and D'addario Pro Steels neck and neck in the lead at the moment.
