So my bassist got new bass ,and I have to set it up for drop C. We got ernie ball auges .055, .075, .090, and .115. When I got to intonate the .115 to a C it was super off ,and no matter how much I tightened the saddle the intonation never got exact. I also noticed it was pretty loose and didn't have the same tension and nice sound the other strings did. I was thinking of ordering the same strings except with a .120. Do you think that will give the low string the same tension, feel, and sound as the others? I would also have to move to D'addario if I do this cause Ernie Ball doesn't make a .120.
p.s. I would imagine a .125 would be too tight right?
