Good options in 40-95 gauge?

40-90 is very tension imbalanced, very top heavy, that should be either 35-90 or even better 30-90. 40-90 sets are rare for this reason.

 

If you want less tension (ie more flexible) than the Dunlop Super Brights, try the DR Sunbeams 40-95. (Assuming you're talking about Super Bright Nickels.)

 

I think I heard something about a brand called something like Tomastik Infeld that supposedly makes some relatively easy feeling strings...

 

Are you sure 40-95 Sunbeams, despite having round cores inside, would have less tension/more flexible than OP's Dunlop SBN 40-100?

In What strings have the lowest tension? thread, GHS' @Jon Moody mentioned that the Dunlop SB 45-105 has very small hex cores comparable to his GHS Supersteels 30-84 (thus the Dunlop SB 40-100 would probably have cores comparable to much smaller than these), and he implied that any round core strings his company made were constructed with larger diameter cores than any other hex core strings with comparable gauges.

I know he wasn't talking about the Pure Blues, but I think we could take the same assumption with the DR's round core strings.

 

Here's my point...
Of all the round core strings DR offers, the Sunbeams are reputed to be the most flexible. A lot of people who have used the Super Brights compare their flexibility to the Sunbeams. So, the only way you can have something more flexible than the Super Brights 40-100 is to try the Sunbeams 40-95.

Or, your only other option would be to try the TI Jazz Rounds, which are three times the cost of the Sunbeams.

 

D'addario makes an "extra super light" set of nickel wound rounds, EXL180, in 95 - 75 - 55 - 35.

I currently have them on my six string (plus added B and C strings to match) and I'm really enjoying them so far. No twanginess on the G string despite the low gauge, very even sounding to me.

 

yeah, it seems that OP would have to go with TI's if he wants less tension than his current Super Brights.

 

I don't think D'Addario EXL 35-95 would be OP's answer. His current 40-100 Dunlop would probably have lower tension/less flexible than those.

Again I'm quoting @Jon Moody on this...

D'Addario used to have FlexSteels, which were constructed with very small hex cores inside, with 45-105 cores comparable to what would be inside other hex core strings 30-90. And now Dunlop makes the Super Bright series with similar recipe. Jon said that the Super Bright 45-105 cores were comparable to GHS Super Steels 30-84.

So, we can assume that OP's Super Brights 40-100 would have cores comparable to what would be something smaller than EXL 30-90.

 

GHS Artist, Evan Marien, talks about his extra light (35-58-70-90-121) set of Super Steels in this excellent video.

 

Not all strings are the same tension. I tried Sunbeams 45-105 ) and found them too floppy for me.

 

That's exactly my point...
I found the Sunbeams 45-105 too loose and flexible as well. So, you can imagine how much looser 40-95 would feel. But that's what the OP is asking for - something even more flexible than the Super Bright 40-100, which are also VERY flexible.

 

Rubber bands?

 

GHS Boomers 40-95 will give you what you want. Their 35-95 are nice too but maybe a little loose on the top for you.

 

Those are quite a bit stiffer than what he already has.

 

Try D’Addario EXL220BT nickel wound strings ... low tension, sweet sound ... so far best roundwound i used

 

35 as a G string is really too soft also for me ... (see the case of Rotosound Funkmaster 66, although they are 30 at G, but there’s not a lot of difference)

 

D'addario super light

 

As @mmbongo has already noted, the Boomers 40-95 are definitely stiffer than the Dunlop Super Brights 40-100. Not recommended to the OP.
