Need advice on strings for alternate tuning

Sign in to disble this ad
I play 5 string in a metal band that tunes to drop B. So in order for me to be in drop B I have to tune 4 of my strings up a whole step. This puts a little exta strain on the neck and my fingers.
Can you reccomend lower tension strings?
