Buying 5 string sets with high C

Hou · #1 03-03-2011, 02:02 PM

Hi guys,

Where you do buy 5 string sets with a high C. DR string doesn't seem to sell them. Only 6 string sets!

At places like juststrings.com, you can just buy a 4-string set, then buy the high C string separately.

That was the option I was thinking of but it seems that you can't single strings on the site or least I cant find it.

Do you use them on your basses? Have you played 105-85-65-45-28?

I offer them.

Yes and you also charge $47 for shipping a set of strings to Europe.

Sorry for being negative but if you want international customers you need to address this problem.

Truly it depends on where in Europe you are - $13 is the usual rate. We ship USPS Priority and their rates are available on the USPS web site.

I am working fervently to secure Euro-distribution - if you have a tip or two I'd be most grateful.

From their home page, there are links on the left. The eighth link down is "Single Strings".

That's what I usually do.

Juststrings.com is too expensive in shipping! I want strings for 50 bucks but the shipping 40 dollars.

Don't many companies are having E-C sets and most C string are 0.28. D'addrio are doing 0.30 or 0.32 gauge

Any know a another place than juststrings. I have check Ebay!

knuckle_head · #13 04-03-2011, 04:14 PM

I offer 4 different sets - with shipping, less than you want to spend if you can wait 6 to 10 days for delivery.

WarrenD · #14 04-04-2011, 12:35 AM

Hou, try Guitar strings, Bass Strings & Accessories (Warwick EADGC eller Rotosound singles), mycket billigare!

autodidact · #15 04-18-2011, 03:16 PM

Why not just pick up a 6string set that way you have a B just in case you decide you want to switch it up sometime. Unless of course you're lucky enough to have a 5er strictly devoted to EADGC.

I can ship overseas and can create custom sets with a High C if you desire.

PM me what you are looking for and your location and I will let you know the costs.

I generally stock 4, 5, 6, string sets plus single C's and B's. (adding more manufacturers).

DR Strings · #17 04-20-2011, 01:48 PM

Seeing as how folks are jumping in letting y'all know what THEY offer, I figured we'd do the same.
Any number of strings we offer in our catalog can be configured into a 'custom' gauged set for you..it's just a matter of choosing from which store/online service you wish to give your business to.
Typically a C to E 5 string set would run only a couple bucks more than a regular 4 string set of ours. We offer Hi C's in 25, 30 and 35's gauges in hi Beam, Lo Rider and Sunbeam varieties.
Again, let your dealer know what gauges you'd like and your wish is our command.
Thanks!

Will the .45 - .105 (with the .30 C) Sunbeams fit a 35" scale length? Don't see any mention on your site.

I've got D'Addario's EXL160s and a single 032 on my 5-string.
