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 2629 String set for 8-string electric guitar

The legend with eight strings

Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings are arguably among the most popular strings worldwide - and the 2629 8-String Regular Slinky set upholds this glorious tradition but with two additional strings. These strings were designed specifically for guitarists with eight-string instruments who value clean low-end performance 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 .010, .013, .0165, .024w, .032, .044, .058, and .074, the 2629 8-String Regular 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.

Perfect for eight-string guitars

Thanks to its long playing life, loud and well-balanced sound, precise intonation, and high tuning stability from the moment the strings are put on, the Ernie Ball 2629 8-String Regular Slinky set is recommended as a reliable companion for eight-string players who want a rich sound with excellent playability and place great value on clean definition, especially in the low end. The combined power of over 50 years of experience in string development at Ernie Ball also makes the 2629 8-String Regular Slinky set the first choice for eight-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 2629 8-String Regular Slinky string set offers a balanced and full sound that brings out the best in your eight-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 2629 8-String Regular Slinky strings offer the perfect balance between playing feel, durability, and a full sound.

DER Perfekte Satz für 7-Saiter in G

Dani Dedi 24.07.2024

Dieser EB Satz ist perfekt, um seine 7 Saiter 2 Ganztöne tiefer zu stimmen und es sollte diese Stärke auch als 7-Saiter Set geben.

Es gibt hier in Deutschland nicht viele Sets, mit denen man 7-Saiter tiefer stimmen kann, weshalb ich zum Ton nicht viel sagen kann, außer dass der Satz gut klingt und höhen und tiefen gut und klar erklingen, ohne dass der Ton matschig klingt. Zudem sind die Saiten dicker, als die violetten D'addario, wodurch man auch mit jeder Mensur auf G/Drop F stimmen kann.

Es wäre trotzdem super, wenn Thomann mit Stringjoy zusammenarbeiten könnte, damit man auch in der EU einfach .011, 0.115, 0.12 und 0.13er Sätze erwerben könnte.

Ich werde solange den EB Regular 8 treu bleiben. Gute Qualität zum guten Preis, wenn auch nicht so lange haltbar wie GHS Boomers or La Bella.

Basssaiten haben eine niedrige Spannung, aber der Klang ist gut. Es reichte für 3 Monate aktiven Gebrauch
