Does anyone at EB have any info on tensions of their standard bass sets? ie. the tension required to tune, say, a 0.045" slinky to G compared with an 0.050"

I'm curious about how EB string gauges compare with those of other manufacturers.

Cheers.
 
D loyd,

Do not know about this request. But we will ask and try and find out.

Thanks, I'd also like to know how the stainless steel strings compare with the nickels in terms of tension
