Strings suitable for playing half a tone down

[aridorot]

I play in a rock/grunge/metal band. My axe is a 5 string active Ibby SR505. Lately we've decided to tune down half a tone and it seems my attack is suffering because of this. Are there string types or gages more suitable for playing half a tone lower? Thanks!

You need to go up to a higher gauge, or build your own custom set at Welcome to Bass Strings Online - Your Custom Bass String Shop...

Or just give it an hour or two and adjust to it. One half tone down is no big deal at all and requires no string change or setup adjustements IMO.

Sometimes it requires minor setup adjustments, but usually no string changes.
