Sign in to disble this ad
Hey
Are there any companies that makes 7 bass string sets (HEADGCF) ? If you now any let me now ? Can you buy them on ebay for example ? I`ll tried to find something on the net but it`s not so easy.

Try Conklin, they do b-f sets, and also singles for low C# and F#, and high Bb and Ab. http://www.conklinguitars.com/accessories.html

www.juststrings.com has a plethora of strings that you could use to build a 7 string set.

Depends on the gauge of the other strings, and the tension you want. The most common gauge for the high F is around 18-22.(AFAIK)

I'm sure it will work, but everybody has a different idea on their own "perfect set-up" I personally would go slightly lighter, esp. if you are a tapper.... All down to preference though.

Not quite experienced in tapping, but man learn all his life Are you shure that the thension on .025 won`t be to high for "high F". I don`t like breaking strings

The tension should be fine as far as that, just whether you find it playable or not, ie string bending won't be as easy.

Most ERB folks I know go the custom made route. Or you could go to the Conklin site and......wait a sec, "H"?

Im no professor, but Im pretty sure "H" isnt a note. ABCDEFG.

Well in Europe they sometimes still use "H"- meaning B, and when they say "B" they mean B flat.

It's kind of the old school European way to say B, I think It's from around the 17th century.

You are quite right "H" is "B" for me So in the "US" way it would be BEADGCF
