String thickness bass
String thickness bass
Hi
I have a 5string bass (Ltd b55) with standard (?) string thickness that is tuned a half step up to C-F-B#-E#-G.
I feel that the strings are to hard and was wondering about getting ligther string, but I have no idea what standard thickness is on bass.
Can someone please advice me?
Sorry for bad phrasing, second language and all that:P
Currently 5 string LTD basses come from the factory with 45-125 Cleartone bass strings. These are considered "Medium" strings. Lighter gauge sets typically range from 35-120. If moving down to a lighter gauge string be mindful that the nut for your instrument was slotted for the medium gauge strings and may require work to play properly with the new smaller strings.
There's not really a standard gauge, it depends on your preferences and tuning, the lower it is, the thicker they should be.
