exup1000 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hello,I've not been on here for ages so I hope your all keeping well. I need some advice if thats ok.I've just joined a new band,our style is progressive metal and my tuning is B F sharp B E. I'm looking around for a new set of strings that are of a heavy gauge i'e the first b is a 135,which is fine but I want a set that doesn't sound bright at all so I keep that dirty low sound of which I havent found yet?anyone know where or what make to look for? Thanks in advance for any info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charic Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I play in Drop C (CGCF). I phoned up newtone, told them the scale of my bass and my usual gauge for standard tuning and they made me a set of strings in my usual gauge but for drop C. You could try the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
