Ernie Ball6-String Baritone Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, 13-72 Gauge (P02839)

usual ernie ball quality, great tone and tuning stability. Beware though, my baritone is a reverse headstock, and the low B string just BARELY made it to the tuner. If i didnt have locking tuners, it would have never worked. Bear that in mind, if you happen to have a reversed headstock!

Not sure why people seem to be having trouble with these on the SB6. I did replace the vibrato on mine with a fixed plate, not sure if that's making a difference. The outer winding is a little long on the lowest string but not a problem in actual use. Tuned B to B on a 30" scale they make this guitar way more playable than it was off-the-shelf tuned E-E. And the price is just crazy low, $10? Insane. Why a set of 4 bass strings is $20+ when these are less than half is a mystery I can live without solving.

A lot of tension but the next don’t bow and and holds up to Drop B flat pretty solid goes down to Drop G with no buzz at all

Besides the obvious choice for short scale (30”) basses I just used a set of these on a modified scale (24”) 4-string bass that I use for practice at home. Also they’re a little less expensive than the signature brand. Ernie Ball strings are on half my collection of instruments and one of my favorites since 1970.

Great for a 27” baritone in drop G! Mad chugs. Good stuff.

So I bought these for my Schecter Hellcat VI. I had searched for the stock strings with no luck. LaBella makes a set specifically for the Hellcat and they're very nice, but at ≈$40 per set they're a bit pricey.These Ernie Ball stings are nice. The tension is better and tone are better than the stock strings were. My only issue is that the low E string did not have a tapered end and the string almost does not fit through the hole on the tuning peg. They work without needing to make any modifications, they could just be a bit better.

Take the Wallace review with a grain of salt, he seems more interested in validating himself and listing off all his gear than providing a useful review.Though meant for a baritone guitar, these work great on a shorter scale guitar tuned to drop A.You'll need to take your axe down to a guitar tech to have the nut replaced or shimmed (raised by a piece of wood under nut) and also filed in order to take these. On top of that you'll need to tweak the truss rod and bridge. If you've got a good shop in town, it's no big deal. So $25-50 bucks just so you can have your guitar take a set of strings like these or the thickest DR DDT.After stringing these up I plucked the 6th string and it rang load, resonated through the guitar and made me smile as the string resonated in my own chest. Having the 72 is the big difference here, It holds tension better at drop A than say a 65.These can be a bit of a work out as far as playing, but that should go without saying... get used to it.TL;DR I can't provide info for use on a baritone, but if you have a 24.75 scale guitar that you want to dedicate to drop A or B standard, these are spectacular sounding. You'll need to modify your guitar in such a way that keeps you stuck with huge strings unless you want to modify again to get back to standard. Worth it, if you're certain that's where you want to be tuned or you have several guitars and want to dedicate one to this tuning.

I’m glad to have three extra packs of guitar strings for the six string base
