Im going to respectfully disagree with the fellow above. Although thicker strings will intonate better and feel better, I don't agree that they help you get a tight low end or improve muddiness. In my experience it's EXACTLY the opposite. The thicker ones are just as easy to play, but i feel they lose some of the crisp attack, bite and growl. I also feel GHS brand strings are easily the darkest and muddiest strings ever made.
I respect Beelzebloke's opinion, but I've been tuning to B or lower for a long time too, and I just always found very large B strings to be the cause of untight/muddy low end. Sometimes simply swapping it out for a lighter gauge solved everything in terms of tone and definition (unfortunately at the cost of tension, 27" helps..)
