Help finding tapered low E!

[Loves2Jam]

Can anyone inform me of any brand string other than fender superbass which has a tapered E so I can go through the body on my P bass. Normal E's are just to wide and don't make the bend.

Thanks

I believe the Carvin roundwound sets (made by LaBella I believe) have a tapered E. But, do not take my word for it and go to the site to see.

What P do you have? I've used the following brands on my '04 USA P and never had a problem with stringing through the body: SIT, D'addario, GHS & DR.

I have a new American P which was made in the last couple years, I don't know for sure.

I've tried all types of DR's and love em but the low e wont work as a result of not being tapered.

Labella Slappers - fantastic strings!

DR will make you custom tapered sets at the specific guages you request. I've purchased several for my Warwicks from Greg at Rocket Music (they have a forum here on TB and his username is RocketMusic) and they've been great. If you like the DRs, drop him a line and he'll get you hooked up.

I forgot all about SIT strings. I love their strings, but have not used their tapered sets.

Will Lee personally recommended these strings to me the last time I saw him. So I was shocked to find that Music123 had them for $13.44. I bought a pack of SR2000s, put them on my bass, and was AMAZED! Really an unbelievable set of strings! Highly recommend giving it a try. It's so affordable and sounds amazing.

I'll listen to any advice Will Lee gives me. He also helped me when I was trying to buy a new bass and he helped me make the perfect decision!
