PZapdos · #1 02-14-2010, 12:05 AM

Ive looked pretty much everywhere, and i just cannot find anywhere with a .135 STEEL B string. ANYWHERE!

Please, if you guys know where you can find one.. tell me! :P

thomastik infeld has a 0.136 B flatwound string.. does 0.001 makes much difference?

I dont know of any steel flats anywhere near .135 personally. I been thinking about buying a set to run a 3rd 4 stringer of mine in BEAD, and I couldnt find any nor do I wish to try and play a .128 B string in B tuning, not much into the fieldy clanking sounds

Are chromes steel? I have a .132 on my bass...that's only 3/1000ths of an inch off.
