Strings for detuned...

[kmk42019]

I recently traded my stingray for a American jazz. I had ernie ball regular slinkys on my 'ray because I normally play half a step down. Any recommendations for the jazz played half a step down?

I just take a standard set and drop the tuning. Strings are a little bit looser, aye, but, imo, it's actually a nicer feel.

I would use DR Lo Riders .45 to .105, they have a great tension for detuning. I tune my 45 65 and 85 down a full step and they still have plenty of stiffness to them. I do change out the 105 for a 115, but that's tuning it between D and C.

Half stepping it with Lo Riders, I don't think you would even feel the difference.
