What Gibson Bass are you using?

I use .50, .65, .85, & .105 on my SG Std. with no problems. Intonation is right on, and no setup required. I've also used the same D'Addario strings on Gibson Thunderbirds, and EB's with the same results.

Is it ok to use 50-105 gauge string for my Gibson bass? I have an extra pack of strings with gauge 50-105. Thanks.

 

I use SIT 50-105 SS Round-wounds on my EB3-L all the time. I've found that SITs sound as good or better than the DRs that I used to use; they last longer, go "dead" evenly, and they are relatively inexpensive. I've found that I prefer the 50's on the EB3-L, but still use SIT 45's on my LP and LP Double Cut. Due to more tension with the 50s, you may have to tighten the truss-rod a bit and check the intonation, but they will work fine. You may even prefer them...
