Sources for strings

Don't it figure...
Now that I've finally made up my mind to get a set of Superflexible Solos, I can't find them in stock *anywhere*. Can anyone suggest a place to try? I've called all the local sources, Lemur is out of them and I've checked a few other web sites, but no luck.

juststrings.com has them on their site, but it looks like you have to get them all as singles.

Hey thanks Aaron! I didn't even think about them. I've only ordered BG strings from them in the past.
They do have the Solo set listed on that page, second from the bottom. I called them up and they have them in stock too.
I didn't realize that the Superflexible Solo set only comes in 4/4 size. Will that present any problems on a 3/4 bass? I know some strings are sensitive to having the actual windings wrap around the posts.
Why is it that no one seems to use the Spirocore Solo strings?

Well, Hammond Ashy [where I got my Superflexibles] had Superflexibles on a few 3/4 sized basses, and they only sell 4/4 orchs, so it "should" work.

I think Stefano Scodanibbio does.
