i been trying out a pack of GHS rock-its 9s and must say very good sound... they feel a bit more stiffer as to not move around playing heavy unlike other strings.... these 9s feel like 10s but play and sound like 9s... if that makes sense......

I find that a bit bigger string has a better sustain..i think.. i just find they have a deep thinker sound, not tiny or twangy... or maybe i', just stuck in my ways lol

no you are right thicker strings i think do have more thicker sound, but i sustain comes down more to your action hight .. also each brand sounds and plays different i can take a set of 9s and a set of 10s from to company's and they might both get same sound.. also depends on pickups etc.... on how strings sound...

thicker strings = more mass = greater sustain...... simple physics :-D

I use Ernie Ball Not So Slinkies (?). Not sure if I got the name right, but they're the 12's.

I use those blue green packaged ones. Those are really nice. I dunno why, but I can't play that well without at least .11's strings. Light strings are just so unresponsive for me. I play in E standard, too. Light strings just go all over the place. Heavier strings not only sound better, but the last longer, and are just as playable, if not more, playable than lighter gauge strings. Just me two cents.
