ERB strings: brands and gagues for 8 string

Sign in to disble this ad
Some time in the next year I am planning to have a single course 8-string bass made with the tuning BEADGCFBb. Scalewise I am planning for 34". I want to know what gauges people are using, mostly for the F and Bb strings respectively, and which manufactures cater to ERB steups like this.

I think LaBella does. I know Dean Markley has a 7 string set of SR2000's. The F and Bb's that I've seen have been plain wire, not wound. I think 24 and 18, don't quote me though.
