Stingray 5 tuning EADGC

[Lynottfan]

Taking the plunge, getting the Ray5, tried some G&L stuff recenlty, iked it, very good, but it aint no ray that is for sure, so I want to go the EADGC tuning route with my 5 string, anyone do it, guage of strings used (make any chances to the nut grooves etc.. Any help well needed, Ray5 is going to be Black with a mirror pickguard and maple neck(surprise surprise for me eh)

Cheers,

I have a SR5 fretless tuned DGCFA#.
I just get regular 5 string sets, well the lightest damn sets I can find. I am sure if I scoured the web for strings I could find a perfect set. But for now I just make do with a soft light set. On my other 5 I used to get 6 string sets and toss the b string. Just tune an E down to C, which sounded awful. So now I get a thin B and take it up to D or C#

Just get a 4-string set and then purchase a single high C (29 to 32 or so). I string all my 5's E-C.
