Flats for a six string

Who makes flats for a 35" scale 6 string? Does any string maker sell the C flat wound separately?

SOMEONE has to. My student bought a Brice 6-string fretless that had flats on it when it was shipped to him...

Status graphite, they make quite a few gauges too, ignore their website, they're starting a new one and haven't updated it.

TI do as well, but you could use the B string to tie up an elephant.

So what? Sounds like a bonus to me.

I prefer a 120 B,the biggest I'd use would be a 125.

D'addario sells the high C of their Chromes line seperately.

The only flat six-string sets I'm aware of are the TI Jazz Flats JF346 and Rotosound Jazz Bass flats RS776LD, both of which AFAIK are only available in 34" scale length. They may or may not work on your 35" scale, depending on the actual string length.

Both the TI and Roto high C's are available separately from JustStrings.com. The sets are there, too. They also have the D'Addario Chromes .032 high C string 34", which are not in any set.

LaBella, and they're great. Also, the very inexpensive Carvin brand flats should fit on a 35" in bass I would think since many of their basses are 35", aren't they?
