Anyone have experience with this set of strings for C# standard on a four string bass? Curious about them for my P Bass...
I like good tension. Usually use 45-105 gauge strings on standard tuning.
Thinking this set of 65-130 could be good for C# standard???

Tune the 065 D in your current set up to E, and play it for a while. Do you like it? Do you think you can work with it? If the answer is yes, then you won't have to worry about the rest of the Drop Zone set in that tuning (the B, F# and C# will be a lot lower-tension than the high E).

Regarding tone, that is subjective, so you'll have to see for yourself.
Or, as you've asked, wait for first-hand reports.
So, if anyone here ever tried the set in that tuning, thread-bump for some of those.
