Question heavy-gauge flats question
Sign in to disble this ad
I'm really thinking of making the switch to flats lately on at least one (if not both) of my P-basses. I tune low, so I'm looking for heavier gauges along these lines:

B - .135
E - .105
A - .85
D - .70

I looked at singles on JustStrings and can't seem to find anything that comes in a .135.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Ernie Ball flats. Get a 5-String set and throw away the G. D'Addario has a .132 B Chrome. You're tuning BEAD? That's all I've got... Good luck!

I checked...couldn't find one. I guess I just wanted to try buying singles because I hate buying 5-string sets and wasting a string.

Rotosound makes a 130 flat. You can buy it as a singlestring from lord of the strings (europe)
