string gauge

Hi all I’m trying to find some new strings for my four string 96’Corvette and I’m not sure what gauge to aim for. Would appreciate some help picking out a gauge. I currently have DR 40-95 fat beams on which I like but I need thicker strings going forward.

I don't think so! A fatter string requires more tension in order to make it's higher mass resonate at a given frequency. More mass and tension require more energy for the same amplitude. Apart from the fundamental tone, harmonics appear along the string. The more energy, the more harmonics. As...
