We keep using them because they sound good. But Elixir themeselves issued a statement that they had issues with the strength of their strings and were working on the problem just a little while back. I love the sound, but really haven't had good luck with them in terms of breakage.

I had a time when I went through like 6 strings in the course of the week. God I was pissed, because $80 later I was still breaking strings, even new ones.

Though, if you're going to alternate tunings, I suggest putting them on a week in advance. If you change the tunings a lot when they're fresh out of the oven so to speak, then they'll break a lot more.

the vaginal fluid they are secreting is the same composition of urine minus the uric acid and phosphorous. i learned that in 11th grade anatomy. btw, sometimes it does have a FAINT smell of Pizzle.
