Question Coloured strings for 130 guage?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi,

Just wondered if anyone knows where I can buy a 130 gauge coloured B string from.

I can only find coloured strings for under 125 gauge, etc..

Thanks

juststrings has colored .130 singles but the 5 and 6 string packs only come with .125s, so you're better off getting a 4 string set and adding the .130 instead.

When I spoke to one of the gentleman from DR at least year's NAMM, he told me that they could color any of their gauges, even if they weren't normally offered in the colored packs.

Good to know that JustStrings has colored singles, though. That's especially handy if you're already buying from there.

I had a discrepency in my price list on singles so have not added them to my site yet.... but! DR does have the .130 Bs available for the Black Beauties.

If you order a 5 or 6 string set on my site I can switch to a 130B.

In the next day or so, the option will be available directly on bassstringsonline.com

Alrighty,

So they are not making any gauge in a color.

The only Colored string currently in a .130 is the Black Beauty.

For those looking for custom sets, I added some options to the 4-String Black Beauties that will allow you to pick any 4 string set, and add any Low-B and/or High-C. So if you want a E-C set, or Lite 4 w/ .120B, there you go.

The options have also been added for the different gauge Low-B's and a High C option has been added for the 5 String Sets.
