You should check out Dean Marklys then Most Heavy Metal/Grunge Band uses them.

Retired Moderator Posts: 134 Group: Retired Member #6 Joined: June 24, 2006	I heard that in the UK, Ernie Ball & Rotosound are made in the same factory. Any truth to that? Check out the Ernie Ball Beefy Slinky set. It's in a yellow pack, and goes 11, 15, 22, 32, 42, 54. The only thing that's weird is the G is plain, and 22 is a toughie to get used to.

Retired Moderator Posts: 134 Group: Retired Member #6 Joined: June 24, 2006	Another good 11 set is Dean Markley, they go 11-52, and come with two third strings, a plain 18 and wound 20.
