I'm using these for G and F# standard tuning on a Schecter Hellraiser with EMG actives to learn jazz, slap and fusion-style. It was impossible to find strings that go that low without buzz in India without compromising on brand and quality or buying a cheaper, lower quality 8-string set, and I had to resort to the lightest guage bass strings I could find. These fit my requirements perfectly with trusted Ernie Ball sound to boot. Cheers!
