Strings for Detuned 5-string

jbt68 · #1 08-01-2005, 06:03 AM

I am relatively new to playing R&B gospel. My background has been rock and heavy thrash in the past for the most part. I wasn't too adventuresome with tuning except for Dropped-D on the 4-string.

I and am using a tuning of Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb on my bass. Can anyone recommend a decent gauge that's not too loose?

Thanks for the help!!

DR Lowriders seem to have more tension than most. They also sound very good.

Thanks for the info! I'm reading the reviews on Musician's Friend, and they do look promising.
