hey guys,

Ive got an audition for a metal band soon that plays in drop c, my current set of EB super slinkys (45-100) feel a little floppy in this tuning.

Would you guys recommend getting a heavier 4 string set eg. 55-110 or getting a standard 5 string set but just using the bottom 4 strings?

Hello Sir,

You may well find quite an imbalance regarding tension for a drop tuning and this gauge mix.

I recommend ordering single strings. If you're happy with EB slinky strings you'll probably like D'Addario XL Nickel too. They are sold as single strings on stringbusters.com.

For C G C F tuning try 120-90-70-50, or similar.

Cheers!
