i love my strings as heavy as possible, are there any heavier strings out there? and if so could they put too much tension on the tbirds neck?

GHS and others have a .115 set - Just Strings carries them

Are you standard tuning? The Rotos are awesome, if a bit imbalanced. Putting a heavier set on your bass is like adding half of another string given the tension you're at. Your bass should handle it, but given the Gibson curse (whole headstocks snapping off) you should be careful.
