Good LOW G-F# string?

[J03YW]

hey, since i'm soon going to get a new bass i'm deciding to make my 5 string as thunderous as humanly possible. anyone know what is a good string (with gauge) to go to G/F#? By the way, i don't care how impossible/crappy this will sound, it's just a set of strings. if i don't like it i'll get others.

Circle K Strings.

A .182 or .190 ought to fit the bill nicely for F#, .174 or .182 for G.

(in fact, I play an 8-string with a low F#, so I know from experience that they work well)

^ Yes

Or for a European source Pyramid strings through schneidermusik.de go up to a .175 steel.

Conklin Snakeskins, Gauge .150 or .165

I tuned drop B w/ a low F# with the Circle K .142 set with a low .166 and it was fine for me.

Circle K. F*** everything else when it comes to tuning low.
