What bass string gauge for A standard?

[ParsonsMatt]

Going to be ordering new strings for my bass recording sessions soon..

5 string. Going from A standard to B standard to Drop A. But I'm not too picky about tension as long as it sounds tight as hell, punchy, and bright.

Thanks!

Just get the fattest 5 string set you can find

For Drop A I have a 145 on the A string

I'm going to go right ahead and say the fattest you can find, I play a 4 string, usually just to C, sometimes to drop G. I bought the fattest low string I could buy, I think its a 160 or something ludicrous like that.
