If a tension of 40 or 43 is needed for a good sounding B, then -according to the d'addario's tension chart pdf- a 145 pro steel is not enough (37.4) (But I will make a small point here: the squier has a correct tension in B standard with a 65-125 DR string while the BTB has NOT with the same...

and here is the problem, the tension is lower on the 35" for some reasons, I'm wondering how is that possible. Yes I already moved the E string to the B position, it sounds as good as in its normal position (and it would probably sound better and feel the same without any string missing or if...

Well, I'm not only looking for an thicker gauge, otherwise I wouldn't even post, I'm just wondering why the B string on the squier feel right with a 125 while the BTB doesn't, with the same string or even with a 135 and a longer scale lenght. AND it doesn't only feel loose, but it also sounds...

I bought my BTB on sales for under 650€ I know that nowadays it cost 725€ and all the spector I could find were all above 1000€ so it was over my price range. my story is almost the same, except it was a SR705 instead of a 405, but I bought the BTB instead. and I liked the string spacing. Also...
