Thanks Guys, most helpful. Thought the 5 string option might be asking for future problems even if only tuned for the gig..
Yes, current strings 45-65-80-105s.
Will have a look at all the options cited.
Happy New Year to All

Hi Guys a bit of advice required please.
I currently have a couple of Rics that I gig with, my main is a 1977 4001 and my stage spare a 2012 4003.
As a band we are somewhat "aged" and playing classic rock from the 70s is gradually taking it's toll on our singers voice so much so that no songs are played at concert pitch.
Most are detuned a semitone but several are down a whole tone. I detune the 4001 one step for gigs and then use the Digitech Drop pedal for the two step down songs. Using the pedal does however affect the overall tone coming out of the rig.
I'd like to detune the 4003 two steps to do away with the drop pedal, swapping guitars as necessary but my usual Rotosound Roundwound Swing Bass strings are a bit too flappy when I've briefly experimented at home two steps down.
1. Can anybody recommend strings out there that are specifically designed made for the job needed? Given my basses and current strings you'll appreciate that I'm after a bright Chris Squire type of sound.
2. Would buying a 5 string set work by tuning the B string to D, E to G, A to C, and D to F. Would that work or would the tension be too much for the neck ?
All advice appreciated
Thanks in anticipation
