What gauge strings do you use?

I've played with Ernie Ball Power Slinky's (55-110) for a long time now. My band plays half step down all the time and sometimes I need to tune to C# G# C# F#
Thicker strings just work well for me, don't have a problem playing with them either.

Didn't realise how few people (at least looking at this poll) used that gauge though!

I play in a function band and are sometimes asked to play old reggae classics - 'Kingston Town, Three Little Birds' etc.
But you cant do much with spindley cheesewire strings.
Hence 45 - 105 on a Precision for me (Roundwounds with the treble rolled off)

Now THAT'S a proper set of strings! :)
I currently use 45 - 130's but find myself wanting to go heavier - I'll have to check these out.
