Looking for strings with low tension

Sign in to disble this ad
I tuned my bass guitar a half step lower and I like how it plays when the strings have less tension. Right now I'm using the DR hibeams 100 80 65 45 strings.

I actually find that tuning my Rotosound steve harris signature flatwounds(110-50) down to B-E-A-D gets a sound that seems to come from somewhere deep inside the bowels of a monster.

But the cool thing about these strings is, unlike roundwounds, theyll only get that growly clack sorta sounds when you want them to.
