I'm modding a five string to use a high tenor tuning (ADGCF) but I can't find a set of these strings anywhere. I would prefer not to pay an extensive amount of money for them, so I don't want to buy custom guaged single strings. Does anyone know where I could by a set of strings with these gauges?
Get a 7-string set & sell the unused B & E, or save them if you're wishy-washy like me(& prone to changing your mind ). I imagine a full 7 set will cost close to the same as a 4 or 5 plus the needed singles.
I considered that, but I think it would be a waste of strings. I could use the E and B for my six or fretless five, but I usually change strings whole sets at a time. There has to be some company somewhere....
Dean Markley put together a set one time for me, and threw it down for free(& I am NO body ). It wasn't an odd set or anything, I just couldn't find what I was looking for in stores. Ken Smith will sell direct(again, if you can't find them at regular stores)& they have a wide variety of gauges(including piccolo-suitable stuff). You might try a search in strings- under piccolo, or maybe tenor.

Uhh...waste strings, or waste $$$'s. You decide.
Sounds like bassteban has an answer for you if it works out; otherwise, get the 7's.
Ebay, or Craig's List is a good place to sell individual strings; no tellin' who's looking for them... could cut your cost of the 7's.
