Question Can anyone report the actual string tension for Ric roundwounds?

Sign in to disble this ad
The 95511 set, which has gauges of 45/55/75/105?

I've been able to locate discussions of string tensions everywhere, but can't find, for the life of me, the actual tension of these strings.

I ask because I have a Ric incoming with this set, and as I understand Ric rounds to be lower tension than some others, I'm wondering whether I'll actually need to do any truss rod work to make such a change.

This isn't meant to be a debate about TI flats v. Ric's, as I already have TI flats on two of my other basses (though I'll probably keep the rounds on for a bit).

Thanks!
