Is the Babolat RPM Blast a good string and if so which gauge is better?
Drock565
The Babolat RPM Blast is a very good string, but it loses a lot of tension after a couple weeks of play (requiring the player to adjust to the strings). However, it is not for everyone.
As for the gauge, it all depends on what you want. If you want more spin and feel, then choose the 16 gauge strings. If you are prone to breaking racquet strings and want less bite on the ball, then you should choose the 17 gauge.

Why are the strings in a guitar of varying thickness?
The thickness of a guitar string affects the pitch produced by it. The thicker a string is, the deeper the tone. However, the reason that the pitch becomes higher when a fret is pressed down on the string is because the metal of the fret is stopping all vibrations beyond that fret, thus making the string "shorter." You might be talking about the gauge of a string. Strings have different gauges to better fit the preferences of the guitarist. The higher the gauge, the harder it is to break that string. However, a higher gauge makes the string harder to play and may hurt the fingers of newer guitarists.

Can you replace the low E string with an A string on guitar?
Technically speaking yes you could...But you would have to file out the nut at the top of the neck to make room for the bigger gauge string.

Can you put 6 string bass strings onto a 5 string bass - I want to make my 5 string as heavy as possible without just tuning down?
The stings for a 6-string bass are the same gauge and tuning as the ones for a 5-string. The only difference is that a 6-string has a 32 gauge low string. The bridge and tuners should work with the 32 gauge string. Because you are going to be moving all of the strings down one (assuming you want to illuminate the thinnest string), you will be increasing the thickness of all of the strings. You are going to need to adjust the bridge because the neck has a rounded edge and if you don't adjust the string height, you will get a lot of fret buzz.
