    They do make thicker strings

    I hust the standard 130 and tune it to Bb, love the feel or that but to each his own
    bovinehost: Yes, I do agree with that, but if there's nothing wrong then there's nothing wrong.
    Beth: I would compare Bongo to Tommy Lee Jones. Bad a$$ and just hot in a weird way...
    cheezewiz: They should take their lace thongs off and play bass.

    The low B on my SR5 is what sold me on it in a second. My SR5 is a little on the heavy side........but it more than makes up for the extra weight with an incredible sound. Something great about this specific bass. I've played other SR5's that didn't sound like this one does. So, I'll put up with the extra weight! Killer low B's for sure!
