I recently bought an Ibanez SRC6 (super hype shit) and while I don't really have any issues with the 24-84 D'addario set that came on it, I have been looking at what I'll replace them with when they get too old or I want to change up the tuning.
Something that I have noticed about some sets is that they have a plain "high" e string while others, including the set that came on the guitar, have 6 wound strings. I get that since the high end is much tighter than the low end now, that would probably help in terms of balance, but it seems like it would sound weird to have just one plain string.
So, what do you guys prefer, having a more balanced set with a plain steel string or two, a super heavy 24-106 (circle k) set that probably is more balanced but maybe a little too fat on the bottom end, or would you just stick with one of the more standard Bass VI sets?
Also, I'd like to try tuning this like a baritone guitar eventually (Either B-b or A-a) and I figured since its scale length is so long I could probably get away with just a regular 6 string guitar set that's a bit on the heavy side. Do any of you have recommendations for a set that would be good for these tunings at 30"?
