Emmett was kind enough to make me a custom set for my Alto. It's sort of a light bass/medium melody set that is just perfect for what I do. My SG12 will have light guage strings. I'll give that a try and tweak it if need be.

I got my Grand with the heavy gauge set in it but I ordered medium gauge at SE, though I haven't changed them yet. Do you guys think it'll greatly affect my tone since I'm playing more of the bass lines for my band? There's quite a big difference in terms of the size of the 2 lowest strings.
