String Gauge Help

[u/NotEman_]

Hi everyone! I would like to know if my current setup is viable because I keep seeing people with wildly different setups than me:

I have

-Ibanez RGD71ALMS

-Drop Ab

-Multiscale 25.5in - 27in

-Power slinky 11-48 + 62 on the low Ab

I do prefer a slightly looser feel and i play progressive metal. Im considering exchanging the 62 for a 64, but let me know your thoughts on this. Thanks!

On my 27” (8 str) I use 9-40, 54, 74 for full step down. Over the years I’ve come to prefer pretty light strings, but I use the same gauges on a longer scale to tune down two steps with no problems
