Standard strings on Ibanez basses

Hey, I was wondering what the gauges of the Elixir strings are that come standard on 5 string Ibanez basses?

Thanks.

I'd say 40-125 as I just put on a set of 45-130 and they were definitely bigger.

I'd agree with .040 - .125. I just got an Ibanez 5er and the strings are definitely lighter than my .45 - .105 set. Next time I buy strings I'm probably going to jump to .045 - .130 since I like having more tension in my strings.

According to the manual from Ibanez's site, the defaut set from the factory on a 5 string should be .040-.130. Don't know if this holds true for any "special" items they may ship out though.

Printed manual says .045-.105 on 4-string plus a .130 on 5-strings. So that's what they ship out from the factory with. And it sure feels that way too.
