String gauge for dropping down 2 steps (C-tuning right across)

Wow, that makes it sound like id have some real slackers, but im still trying the 12-54. People also have REALLY different ideas of what feels good and not.

Yeah, and as you said, you can always go up a notch easily :)

Absolutely, and it's worth saying that if I'm playing metal I do pick pretty damn hard, and I'm mostly plaing extremely fast music, when high tension is key, for me at least.

If you want the strings a bit tighter, D'Addario do a Jazz set (EJ22) medium Jazz strings which are very similar to "standard" 9 sets, but in 13s. Quite even tension across all the strings.
Which reminds me, need to whack on a new set of 13s or 14s on my baritone :)

Both Criss Oliva and Tony Iommi used those when tuned down to C, and they sounded excellent, worth a look in I reckon.

Gauge wise, I'd rock up 13-56 anyday!
