The brains behind it is also the brains behind the 39.5" scale "Quake" bass http://www.basstasters.com/basses/Knuckle_Quake_5.html |

As he grows and offers more string gauges (.145 B, for instance), I'll have to check them out.
For now, my Fodera strings will get me by.

I like the Circle K better. I haven't checked recent Fodera string pricing, but as I recall they are not cheaper than these. |

Maybe that's because I haven't had F#0 and B strings that didn't start sounding a bit duller and feeling a bit less responsive than the rest of the set after a couple weeks. |

|  | Am I on time? | | Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: WA State | | | Roundwound hex core nickel/steel hybrid strings sounds great - I'd give them a try try, but I don't see any standard gauge 5er sets [45/65/85/105/130] or taperwounds.
Maybe they will down the road.

There is the 5 String Traditional Standard - .135 .105 .080 .065 .045

I have the 100 set and tension is perfect across the board for me. Of course, that is gonna be somewhat subjective.

| | | | 16 different gauge choices in 4 string sets, but no 45-100? Seems odd.
