What are the options on the market today for extended range bassists as far as strings go?

Off the top of my head, Octave4plus (got one set, bad experience), Circle K (looks very interesting, I'm gonna get a set in the next few days), Conklin, and Pyramid can make you a custom set.

Dean Markley SR2000 are what I usually use

I've also had Ken Smith but I didn't like them nearly as much

Contact SIT or Conklin (previously mentioned)

Go to JustStrings.com if you're building a set from singles

I've used DR and Labella stainless rounds on my 7 in the past. Now I'm sticking with Circle K.
