Strings suggestion?

keko · #1 11-04-2011, 07:12 AM

I'm going direct to the point:

Looking for a black colored heavy coated round-wound bass strings for a 5 banger in gauge as follows:

45-65-80-100-130

Any suggestion?

I've been searching over the net, but it seems to me that my preferred gauge is a problem?

Go message SlaPiNFuNk.
Why do you need that exact gauge anyway?

Thanks!

I prefer that gauge, 'cause it's factory setup of my bass and I use to it and don't wanna change anything about that!

What's the maximum gauge you can get from the ones you're looking at?

Well, actually I was focused on DRs but now it looks like Black beauties are no longer in offer?

Also checked a few brands in my region (awful offer) ...nothing!

So, I'm at the beginning again!

No, Black Beauties haven't gone anywhere. Did you contact Jason at Bass Strings Online?

Nope, but there's no right gauge of BB for me anyway!

Again...did you contact Jason at Bass Strings Online??? HINT: He does custom sets.

I should have linked you here:

Put together whatever you want. But contact him first about international shipping.

Gee thanks, ...I'll consider about that seriously, ...but I just got one information that EB will put in the production soon strings like that, ...so it seems all my troubles will be finished!

I think I'll wait for a Winter NAMM!

Thanks everybody!

Yeah you would need to put together a set using Black Beauty Singles as mentioned...

mmbongo · #11 11-04-2011, 11:45 AM

No way I would wait for Ernie Ball strings when DR's are readily available.
