nice to see another Hybrid Slinky user! Nobody I know uses them and it's great - my local music shop is never out of stock (until after I go in)

I also use Hybrid Slinky on Strats and everything with that scale length. On Les Pauls, I use Regular Slinkys.

Ernie Ball strings FTW.

Nice another hybrid user. The tension was a pain to set up on my X series H sig, but now that its balanced i'm never going back to standard gauges, also what is that switch between Volume and the Tone.

I've always assumed (looking at H's) that it's a coil tap for the neck pickup. So that's what I did on mine.

You can just see the mini toggle switch in these 2 pics.

Some interesting things from this photo about gear during "The Entire Population Of Hackney" gig.

It seems that Dave and Steve played their own instruments and not borrowed ones. Dave is playing the 1964 Strat. It's a shame we don't see what Adrian is playing, as that would be the most interesting thing. Was it Jacksons? Was it the black Charvel Strat? Or was it still Lados? Tremolo work sounds like a Floyd, but we know that the black LADO had a Floyd at this point. Also, on Silver and Gold I assume he played the original Roland Synth guitar. Or were the MIDI Jacksons already made. But, from Adrian's sound it's very safe to say that he was playing Gallien Kruegers at this point already.

It's definitely not a Lado, guessing from the headstock. It's a Charvel, or he already got a Jackson.

I used them for 10 years on my 7 string guitars. 9-46, and a single 68 for the 7th string. I play in Drop A. I still use 10-52 on my SG, for standard tuning. I like thicker strings to riff, but thinner ones for solos. So Hybrids are my go-to. On the SG I have to use a heavier gauge because of the shorter scale. It gives roughly the same tension as on the normal scale ones. But recently I switched to D'Addario NYXLs for my two main live guitars. They are a bit more expensive, but stays in tune much better than the Ernies, and doesn't lost their sound and clarity for a much longer time.

Adrian is not visible on that photo...
