According to the Ernie Ball website. he uses Power Slinky. 11-48
Really light gauge strings. Like rubber bands, I am told.
For optimal performance and sound quality, you should consider using light gauge guitar strings. Light gauge strings are easier to play and produce a brighter tone compared to heavier gauge strings.

To accurately gauge the thickness of guitar strings, you can use a tool called a string gauge or caliper. This tool measures the diameter of the string in inches or millimeters. You can also refer to the packaging or manufacturer's specifications for the exact thickness of the strings.
He uses Ernie Ball custom gauge strings, .10 to .52 or .54

Yes, they do. The gauge of a guitar string determines its thickness and therefore its pitch.
There is no "correct" gauge for guitar strings. Use whichever gauge is comfortable for you. Higher gauge strings will ring louder and longer, but sustain and volume aren't as much of an issue with electric guitars as they are for acoustic guitars. If you're really unhappy with the sound of your current strings, try another brand or move to a higher gauge once you build up some finger strength.
Jaco used Rotosound round-gauge strings gauged 46-63-80-102, but it would be easier to get them in 45-105 gauge.
i think is saw on video of him using dunlop green tortex pick. he does usually play with tortex picks, but he does have a signature dunlop design Kirk's picks are Dunlop Tortex 0.88mm. They are customized with various imprints such as his signature and various Metallica graphics and logos. The Dunlop Series picks were promotional only. He does not use them. ~PickGuru
For tuning your guitar to Drop C, it is recommended to use heavier gauge strings, such as 11-56 or 12-60, to maintain proper tension and avoid string buzzing.
For a 12-string acoustic guitar, the best gauge strings are typically light or medium gauge strings. Light gauge strings are easier to play and put less tension on the guitar, while medium gauge strings offer a balance between playability and tone. It's important to choose strings that feel comfortable to play and produce a balanced sound across all 12 strings.
