[QUOTE="Jaded Faith, post: 68116, member: 1068"] I tune to dropped C# with my band (Dropped D a half step down) and use Ernie Ball Not Even Slinky's 12-56. But I also have VERY strong hands and like the guitar to fight back a bit. I previously used Blue Steel LTHB's at 10-52 and needed a bit more tension for my tastes. Interesting note: My bassist tunes where we do and we tried something that worked really well. His tone was lacking articulation when he got a new Ampeg 4x10 rig this year and his modded Fender Jazz and EB Sting Ray sounded worse than a $250 Ibanez I owned that's standard tuned. We restrung the Fender with the lower 4 strings out of a 5-string set and it was amazing. I had to set up the bass and replaced the nut, but it was night and day in the punch, clarity and definition.
