This is probably a dumb question but is there any way to increase the tension of the strings on a 7 string(the low B in particular) without resorting to heavier gauge strings ?
I've got .58 low B's on both of my 7 strings at the moment and the tension is fine but I'd much prefer a lighter low B if I could get the same tension with one.
I've seen quite a few people saying that they use .52 low B's. What are they doing to their guitars to allow such a light low B to be used and still get enough tension ?
