I Play mostly Blues (SRV, eric clapton, ect) and 80's metal (Guns n' roses, black sabbath, ect) and i started out using super slinky but once i got better and started bending the strings more i started using hybrid slinky...and i use that now...but it seems WAY to thin now, i tune up to make it feel more nomal and not so loose (if that makes any sence) but i am afraid doing that because i dont want to warp my guitar...and input...what type of string should i use

So get thicker strings, way thicker strings.

That is why there is a truss rod in your neck, and turning the wheel counter-clockwise will counter act the extra pull. Warping MusicMan necks? Not hardly likely:)

I can't play geetar worth sh*t, but I like Power Slinkys for regular tuning.
 
Well what kind of guitar are you using there, killer? That could be an important factor, as well as playing with your amp settings.

But all that aside, if you want to go with good strings, get the Ernie Ball Beefy Slinky strings. They're heavy gage strings (e 11), and the bottom three are even heavier. They get good, thick sound.

Of course, I use a semi-hollowbody, so I usually do get good tone.

-Happy.
