String gauges for a 10 string bass?

[eyvindwa]

Hi,

Does anyone know what kind of gauges are used for a 10 string bass (especially the octave strings), like the Godlyke Deity 10 (http://www.godlykebass.com/Deity_10_String.php)?

Thanks.

The Dean Hammer 10 uses the following. I know this because I owned one, and had an additional pack from Dean:

B .045 + 125
E .040 + 105
A .030 + .080
D .022 + .065
G .014 + .045

The Godlyke wesite shows a range of .115-.016 gauge for the Deity 10.
