Posted in Guitarists & Bassists / What string gauges does everyone use?
For electric, I only use D'Addario NYXL guitar strings, and I order custom gauges from http://www.juststrings.com. Gauges vary, depending on the tunings that I'll be in, but in any case, I determine each set using D'Addario's http://stringtensionpro.com. I base my custom set off of existing D'Addario strings (the EXL110BT Nickel Wound, Balanced Tension Regular Light, 10-46), have the tool suggest new strings that will keep the feel of my EXL110BT's and voilà!
For Drop C, I get 58-39-28-19-15-11. For Drop Bb, I get 65-44-32-21-17-13. So it goes.
Ideal string tension that lasts longer and sings louder!
