Tuning/Gauge Question

PlagueX1 · 06-04-2008, 12:58 PM

Ok so my strings that I ordered came in. I looked at the Dean Markley set and realized that I ordered Light Top/Heavy Bottoms, didn't realize it when I ordered em. I was wondering what tuning you all would use with these? They are 10-52,60's right now I'm in Bb Standard. The tensions alot tighter than what I'm used to. I never really tried LTHB strings tho.

I would just keep it in Bb standard, or whatever you want.
The main reason i would like light top heavy bottoms is so that the light strings are easy to bend/ solo on and the heavy strings stay tight and defined for heavy riffs.

I use an 11-52/64 set for Bb standard

Yeah I know that now. I was a little suspicious since I haven't tried them before. I love them a lot more than standard strings now tho. The top strings stay nice and loose, but not over loose perfect for vibrato. Love em.
