Heavier gauge strings

[Luis Fabara]

One of my bands plays Thrash metal and we use a Droped D tunning.

I play a Six String bass tuned
A D G C F Bb

I experimented with using the following gauge:

130 125 105 85 65 45 , with believe it or not, extremely good results, with the obvious exception of the low A.

Where can I get a 145 or 150 string for my Low A needs?

I like strings for this band to be tight but I think a proper set for this tunning would go in this range:

145 125 100 80 58 38

All help is apreciated.

Although not your specific gauges, Ken Smith Master Series Metal Masters has a 30 50 70 85 110 145T 6-string set. And I'm pretty sure you can get Smith singles at sites like JustStrings.com.

I think D'addario and La Bella also produce B's that big. Conklin offers some custom strings for their ERB's.

DR custom makes strings.
