    G&L Basses and strings....

    Really? I've heard they come with D'addario nickels? For me my L2k generally sounds pretty great with any string, but I'm quite fond of the rotosounds / fender steels when they die down a bit :)

    Tuning B-E-A-D to E-A-D-G

    So I have a set of B-E-A-D strings on right now, will I do any permanent damage if I tune the same strings to E-A-D-G? I just like the tone and feel of really thick strings. Cheers and sorry if this has been asked before, can't find an answer anywhere.
