for your 7 string, i'm just remembering an old EVH trick here - have you ever tried a light gauge bass string? since you're buying singles anyway... apparently back in the day he'd swap out his low E for bass G or A string before tuning it down to B. i think it was mostly for 'Little Guitars'.

Believe it or not, .066 guage bass strings don't exist, or at least they're not easily available from the shops round here. Its just as much to buy singles online, so may as well get the guitar ones.
