F#C#G#C# String Help!

[RNV]

I'm playing with Rotosound RS77LE Heavy Gauge Jazz Bass Strings (50, 75, 95, 110) and they feel fine to me (no pick) in drop C tuning.

Yeah, i did see a set of those at SamAsh but only in 4 string model. Another problem I have is that I got the strings I'm basing my need for a heavy gauge string on a set that came on my bass when i got it. So I dont know if their Elixir light, medium, or heavy. They came on a Ibanez SR 755. So basically everything I do know and want is bassed off of knuckles.

But I cant find the particular strings I want on his page. Or anything close a .135-.145 B and .114-.120E

And I also only use fingers and have some mud on the A string.

So yours is an interesting tuning; BbDbAbDbGb

Drop D dropped a half step with a standard B under it, also dropped a half step.

I can tell you there is no ready made set for this tuning on my site - but it's the second I've been asked about in the last two weeks. For straight drop Db I'd suggest the;

.124 .084 .061 .043 drop tuned set with a .150 on bottom
or
.118 .080 .058 .043 drop tuned set with a .142 on bottom

Yeah I looked on your website and can't find any of those with the Low B. I don't see where I can get these. Please tell me soon because I need strings soon but would like to buy from you

So I got some GHS .115 .095 string set and its great. I only got a 4 string set and my 5th is only a .130 but it definitly helps out with the tone!

Get a heavy set of 4 string set or a light set of 5 string set and discard the G.
