10-46 in drop Db or Eb standard.

Exactly the same in terms of tuning, brand, and gauges. Only difference is I use a NanoWeb bass .060 instead of the .056.

Ernie Ball Skinny top Heavy bottom

.10 .13 .17 .30 .42 .52

Drop C# tuning

I like the thicker bass strings and the thinner treble strings, i've always used them and probably always will

D'Addario .13-.54. Tuned to F#. On a 6 string. I'd actually prefer to have a set of DR strings that are 10-54. i like thinner strings on the bottom strings.

same, except i'm in Bb, and add a 62 for drop Ab. the thinner strings help accent the djent imho

I use 12p-16p-20p-32w-42w-54w for DGCFAD and 10p-13p-17p-36p-46p-56p for CGCGCE. About to put some 13's on my acoustic, which kind of sucks and primarily serves as finger strength training.

No ones using DR Strings here? Guys! You got to try the DR Strings! I've tried d'addario, ernie ball, elixir, ghs boomers... but nothing beats the DR!

They sound good, bends nice and they just won't snap! Seriously.

Found some guys putting DR's to the test:
