OK, yesterday I restrung my SR5 with these strings and really liked them. I even sponged during a couple of old Pips and Temptations songs last night. I really liked how they sounded, but on the funky ghost noted fingerstyle stuff it was harder to play what I'm used to feeling with the lighter gauge. I can fix that with practice, but does that heavy of a gauge put too much strain on the neck? Had to adjust my truss rod for the first time in years. I've only gone from the 45-130s slinkys and the TI JF345s. The power slinkys are the heaviest gauge I've ever used (50-135) on any bass, and while I like the tone (especially from the G string which has always sounded weak on this bass) the taught playablility makes me wonder about the risks of added tension.
Thanks.
Thanks.
