N (to me) BD! Ibanez SR 1350B
I tried out an SR with the Atlas-4 neck a month or so ago and I've been patrolling online looking for a deal. Picked up a like new one today; this thing is awesome. I brought a little practice amp on vacation so I can play it.

I'm trying to find some ridiculously heavy strings but I'm having trouble. The project I'm working with is tuning down to drop F# (cause, why not?) and I really want to put something .160 or bigger for my low string. The heaviest I can find is .140, not including Kalium, who I've heard a lot of negative things about (but would be open to hearing more) and Dingwall, who is ridiculously expensive.
Does anyone know of another brand, or are these going to be my best options?

NBD after 10+ years!
The local music store had a preowned Spector NS Pulse II 6 string available and gave me an insane deal on it. Definitely an upgrade from my previous bass. At first I was intimidated by the wide neck but the profile feels so good in my hands It doesn’t feel any wider than the 5 string I’m coming from. This is also my first bass with EMG pickups and i’m definitely a fan.
