Chimaira String Guages

[DigitalMetal]

Dunno if any of you guys tuned in to the Chimaira Live webchat on 3wiserecords.com or if you are even interested,
Most interesting bit of info i got from it was the string guages the new guys are using,

CHIMAIRA:
SIT 10-48 for Emil
SIT 12-54 Matt
SIT 50/70/105/130 Jeremy

Haven't heard that band in ages and don't know how they tune, and I don't know much about guitar gauges, but the bass seems like the standard 5 string into a 4 gauge, I'm guessing they tune B or A?

Sit for sitar? Lol. No really what's sit?

Whoa, Emil must be picking a lot lighter than Matt on the rhythms. Really surprised he'd go that light with the 6th string, but I'd probably use a 10 as well on the 1st string at that tuning
