From the inventor of guitar strings

Strings made by Ernie Ball - the proverbial icing on the cake for a powerful sound with plenty of sustain. Since the early 1960s, the US company has been making strings for almost every stringed instrument. This vast wealth of experience is clearly demonstrated in every product, and it is not by chance that Ernie Ball remains one of the market's leading manufacturers to this day. The product range has expanded immensely over the course of several decades and now includes many accessories such as effect pedals, cables, straps, and high-quality picks alongside the company's extensive selection of strings. However, Ernie Ball's core business is and remains the production of all manner of strings, which set standards in terms of sound, tuning stability, and durability - and the company is still based in Indio, California.

Ernie Ball 2628 Slinky 9-String String Set for Electric Guitar

The legend with nine strings

The Ernie Ball Slinky strings are arguably among the most popular strings worldwide - and the 2628 9-String Slinky set upholds this glorious tradition but with three additional strings. These strings were designed specifically for guitarists with nine-string instruments who value excellent low-end definition and a high level of playing comfort. The wound strings feature a hexagonal steel core beneath nickel-plated steel windings. In contrast, the plain strings are made from a specially hardened and tin-plated high-tensile carbon steel. With gauges of .009, .011, .016, .024, .034, .046, .064, .080, and .105 the 2628 9-String Slinky set offers not only a comfortable playing feel but also a powerful and rich tone, which of course makes them particularly suitable for Metal.

The combined power of over 50 years of experience in string development at Ernie Ball also makes the 2628 9-String Slinky set the first choice for nine-string electric guitars - and at a very fair price.

About Ernie Ball

The Ernie Ball company was named after its founder and has its headquarters in San Luis Opisbo, California. Being a guitarist himself, Ernie Ball knew their needs very well. A major problem for him in the 1950s and 1960s was the lack of high-quality guitar and bass strings. In 1962, Ernie Ball invented the “Slinky”, a very flexible and therefore much more comfortable string, which also sounded better and was more durable. He specifically brought individual string gauges onto the market for a young clientele and touring musicians. The company’s success was unstoppable, and today Ernie Ball is the world's largest manufacturer of guitar and bass strings. Over the years, the range has expanded and now includes accessories such as cables, picks, straps, etc. Ernie Ball is also known in connection with the instrument manufacturer Music Man, which the company bought in 1984, but which continues to operate as an independent brand.

Perfect for Metal

The 2628 9-String Slinky set offers a balanced and full sound that brings out the best in your nine-string electric guitar. The strings' precise intonation means that chords, riffs, and solos will always sound bright and clear anywhere on the fingerboard. In addition, these strings deliver excellent tuning stability as well as a direct tonal response, something that is crucial especially for the low strings, such as when playing precise riffs. Whether you are playing powerful high-gain riffs, crystal-clear clean parts, or expressive solos, the Ernie Ball 2628 9-String Slinky set offers the perfect balance between playing feel, durability, and a full sound.

An sich eine gute Sache
Noch ein Kunde 18.01.2018
Ich benutze ebenfalls eine Ibanez RG-9. Lange habe ich auf einen Komplettsatz Saiten gewartet, und freute mich diesen hier zu entdecken, da die Saitenstärken an sich das darstellt was ich mal ausprobieren wollte.
Leider ist die tiefe Saite tatsächlich zu fett für den Saitenreiter, weshalb sie aufliegt anstatt sich in die Kerbe einzufügen - Resultat ist ein dumpfer und langweiliger Sound.
Die anderen 8 Saiten sind eigentlich ziemlich gut, oberen 6 für Standard E Tuning, 7. auf Drop A und 8. auf E.
Ich habe die Saiten jedoch wieder getauscht, da sie mir zu stark sind.
Falls es jemanden interessiert:
Inzwischen nutze ich als obere Saite eine 008er, was ein entspannteres Spielgefühl zurfolge hat. 8. Saite eine 75er (auf E) und 9. Saite eine 100er ((auf H)) ja, diese passt mit etwas Druck dann tatsächlich noch in den Saitenreiter hinein).
Bei so vielen Saiten muss man einfach rumprobieren bis man das Richtige für sich gefunden hat.

Ach so, und wichtig:
Die RG-9 hat (glaube ich) eine 28" Mensur - die beiden tiefen Saiten reichen gerade noch so aus, da die Wicklung dann dünner wird (es reicht exakt bis zum Sattel).
Wer also eine Mensur länger als 28" hat sollte die Finger hiervon lassen.

Endlich gefunden
Andreas6762 11.01.2015
Ich habe mir Anfang Dezember eine Ibanez RG9 gegönnt, da ich nach beinahe 40 Jahren Gitarrespielen eine neue Herausforderung gesucht habe. Jedesmal nach dem Kauf einer neuen Gitarre möchte ich die Saiten erneuern, zumal die ab Werk aufgespannten Saiten manchmal nicht mehr im besten Zustand sind. Dies war auch hier der Fall, es gab jedoch ein Problem: Für neunsaitige Gitarren konnte ich in der näheren Umgebung nichts finden, es sei denn, einen um eine Bassaite ergänzten Satz für achtsaitige Gitarren. Also war ich sehr erleichtert, als ich bei Thomann fündig wurde. Durch die neuen Saiten ist die Gitarre noch einmal kräftig aufgewertet worden. Sie klingt wesentlich differenzierter, vor allem bei cleanen Einstellungen erinnern die tiefen Saiten nunmehr sehr an den Sound eines E-Basses. Verzerrte Sounds sind nun wesentlich homogener, Obertöne sind auf allen Saiten problemlos möglich und vor allem gibt es keine Lautstärkenunterschiede, ein Aspekt, der gerade bei 9 Saiten eine große Rolle spielt. Neben dem sehr guten Sound ist auch die Verarbeitung sehr gut, das Aufziehen der immerhin 9 Saiten verlief ohne Probleme. Insbesondere ist mir sehr positiv aufgefallen, dass die Saiten von Anfang an die Stimmung halten.
Natürlich kann ich noch nicht beurteilen, wie lange die beschriebenen Eigenschaften anhalten, ich bin jedoch aufgrund meiner bisherigen Erfahrungen mit Ernie Ball optimistisch.
