Hartke Xlight Strings for 5'er

[vstringbassist]

Can anyone help me find these bass strings? They seem to have been discontinued and I was hoping some sellers may still have stock. I searched the net but could not find them - I may not have done a "deep" enough search.

The part #: HSB 540 3P

Thanks!

I couldn't find them either. This set of Prosteels are the same gauges and are very good quality. You pay a little more, but they sound better IMHO, and last longer (I've used both).

Thanks for the info! I had a problem with the length of D'D's the last time I bought a twin pack (long scale) for my Cirrus.
If I remember correctly the tapering started to early at the tuner end. I found the Hartke's just perfect for my basses and playing style not to mention how inexpensive they are (where). I guess its time for a change so I may try the ones you suggested.

Cheers!

They do make extra long versions if the other D'Addarios didn't work. You might want to check and see.

I just ordered a set.

Best of luck. Hope they meet your needs and sound great on your bass.

The Hartke Xlight 5's are my favorite strings too. I have 4 sets left, I need to go to the shops in Orlando and see if they have any left
