Hey all,

First off, I freakin' LOVE my Alien Audio Lunar 5 and I could write a few paragraphs as to why.

I have tried a few different strings since I acquired it a couple years ago (Pressurewounds, D'Addario NYXL, SIT Foundations). Although all of them had their respective qualities, the B strings were never as tight/responsive as I feel like they should have been.

What are some of your string experiences with these bridges, and what type of B do you think works best (exposed core, taper, non-taper, etc). Specific brands and gauges are welcome!

Thanks!
