| The Fodera AJ signature set was .028 .044 .062 .085 .106 .125. I'll place emphasis on the word was, because this is info from years ago and he may have changed to lighter gauges due to the medical concerns he had a while back. This is admittedly just guessing, though.
Last time I saw him in person, he was using taper-core strings on his SC Contrabass. The taper stopped directly after the bridge saddle contact point - maybe 1/16" after the saddles. This suggests precisely measured distances for strings that are customized for him and his needs.
I don't know if Fodera offers the set to the public anymore - they haven't been on their site for as long as I remember. Fodera might offer them as a custom sort of thing. Mileage may vary if someone tries these gauges on a bass that isn't of the same design scheme as Anthony's, as this package was a set made for a six string bass with a 36" scale.
