Here are some comments from artists who use Ernie Ball strings💁♀️
Imai Hisashi (BUCK-TICK)
“I think I’ve probably been using Ernie Ball strings for more than 30 years?
It’s easier and more stable for re-tuning after restringing
and it’s got a softer touch when I play so I think it’s easy to work with.
I like the way the sound comes through.”
⚡️Strings used: Regular Slinky ♯2221
Higuchi Yutaka (BUCK-TICK)
“The strings are smooth to the touch, aren’t they?
I do a lot of plucking, so these strings make it very easy to play because they’re not too stiff.
In terms of sound quality, they’re in the high range but I like the way the lows come through too.”

Hoshino Hidehiko (BUCK-TICK)
“I’ve been using them since around the time of our debut.
The string gauge of the regular Slinky goes from .010 to .046
so I think that makes the strings fully balanced with a rich mid-tone.
And that’s something that BUCK-TICK’s sound can’t do without.”
