String Power Slinky
String Power Slinky
If i upgrade to Power SLinky Bass Strings (50-110), will i have to widen my nut slots?
I am planning to get a Schecter Stiletto Elite-4 and am curious if i will need to widen my nut slots to accommodate the thicker strings. I play in drop C so its a pretty low tuning.
Another question is if putting the strings through the body will be a major pain because i don't know if the body-string holes are wide enough?
Thanks 
It depends on which guitar strings you had on before. If you are only going a couple gauges up, you shouldn't have much of a problem.
Likewise, if it is a huge jump in thickness, you will need to file out your nut and possibly drill out your through-body holes. You can find round files at your local hardware store for around $15+ if you want to go cheap, but if you mess it up, you'll have to get a new nut installed and the such. I'd take it to a luthier and have them do it should you choose this route.
If you are looking to play drop C, instead of going Holy-Moses on your gauge change, look at what gauge you use now and go up two steps. This will allow you to keep similar string tension (which will help with your sustain) and not have to alter the guitar.
Note - if you go too thick, there is a possibility of putting too much strain on your bass and warping the neck. Do not go overboard with thick strings.
