gauge for d-tuning

[wizay]

Hi there

What kind of string gauge would you use if you tuned in D?
(two halfsteps down on all 4 strings)

Thanks.

.005" thicker than the strings you would normally play when tuned in E.

I am always happy to answer this question.
La Bella makes a set specifically for DGCF tuning. I've been using them for a few years and they're excellent. It's the M-70 "D tuning" set. The gauges are .054-.075-.090-.111. Give 'em a try, you won't regret it. The best Web deal on them is right here.. http://www.bassguitarstrings.us/stor...cat=298&page=1

thanks for the replies! Just wanted to be sure what gauges I need. A pack of rotos here in norway are like 40-50 dollars... So im ordering from the USA.
