Looking for La Bella black nylon tapewound strings - in a hurry!

I'd like to find a new set of La Bella black nylon tapewound strings for a gig next weekend. JustStrings.com is out of stock.

Does anyone know where I can find some fast?

How many strings? I think Carvin sells them in 4 and maybe 5 string packs.

If you're looking for a four string set - have you tried Fender's nylon tapewounds? Personally I like them even better than the LaBellas, but they're only available in four string sets that I know of. Check your local shop.

It's a 5-string bass. The other thing I failed to mention, is that I need an extra-long set. There are plenty of places that carry the normal length strings, but it seems the extra-long sets are pretty rare. I put in a call to Rob Allen, but haven't heard back from him.

Carvin is the only other place I know of (besides juststrings and Rob Allen) where you can get the extra longs. The ones they sell are OEM for their string through body acoustics. I've never used the 5 string set, but the 4 string set has a 38" winding length. Here's the direct link.

Yeah, I looked at that set earlier, but there's nothing that indicates the length of the strings, and the picture doesn't show enough detail. I'll call them to verify that they are what I'm looking for.

Thanks for the info.
