String tuning/gauge

[Terp619]

I know I know... another one of these

I've looked everywhere and talked to people and they just can't seem to help me.

I play a five-string bass in a metal band. I tune A#, F, A#, D#, G#.

I've been playing with the standard set and strings keep breaking.

What size do you suggest?

They keep breaking? They shouldn't do that.
