Good advice on looking into tension of various sets. As an example, Savarez Cristal Corum NORMAL tension are harder than D'Addario Pro-Arte HIGH tension. It is fun experimenting, however.
FWIW, my current strings are Savarez Corum basses and Oasis GXP Carbon trebles, both Normal tension.

i usually play hard tension strings ..when i play Savarez i use hard tension basses with normal tension trebles, the company provide such a set

when Hannabach i play normal tension because they are as hard as other brands high tension strings

I'll try this Jim Dunlops which I already ordered, if it does'nt sound/play well, I'll try a set of harder strings.

I never did warm up to 000 steels because of the softness, I love the longerscale OM's. So, maybe the harder strings will suit me more.

Cheers guys for your expertice, appreciated.
