Used EB Powers for years when I was gigging regularly, but lately have been trying out some D'Addario sets...the balanced tension EXL115BT set (11-50) are working out very nice on my main Tele, and the 115W set are brilliant on Ric 6s.

I don't know these days but certainly back in the 70's there was a fashion for replacing the wound third on a heavy set of strings with a second B string. Pete Townshend among others did this. Not Mick Green. He could do all that string bending with the standard set. He didn't detune either eg like Stevie Ray Vaughn grrrrr....
The only other guitarist I've heard of using strings this heavy is Mike Henderson and he has a super distinctive sound too, albeit in open tuning.
