The recent polls about strings raise a question.
I've been using roundwound GHS Bass Boomer Heavy for many years. The gauges are 50/70/95/115. I use them because I really REALLY REALLY prefer the heaviest E and A I can get my hands on.
I was going through a box of music-related stuff and found an old set of D'Addario XL Heavy. The gauges on those are 55/75/90/110.
Is there any reason I can't mix these so that I get 55/75/95/115? I have always preferred heavy strings (was never a guitar player).
Note/Disclaimer/Admission of Guilt: I do not do my own setups: I pay a tech to do that periodically.
Would a set up need to be done if I mixed the strings?
I'm concerned about doing anything funky that could screw up the neck on my main player, my '76 P.
