EBMM Cobalt Flats Single Strings? TI as well?

[bassrique]

I just received an email back from Ernie Ball saying that they don't sell single strings or any strings direct to the public anymore. I see Strings and Things sells what I want (Cobalt Flats .110 and/or .130) but they don't sell to the general public either.

And I also would like a TI Jazz flat low B string.

Ideas? Experiences?

TY

There has to be some input, no?

The Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Flat low-B single string (JF34136) is commonly available in Europe, if not cheaply.
Try ordering it from Amazon (login with one's usual Amazon.com account should work) :
Amazon.co.uk

Dutch online string retailer LordOfTheStrings.com / Gitaarsnaren.nl still has the Ernie Ball Slinky Flatwound bass singles you want (pt. nos 10899 and 10813).
I know they ship to the US, and I hope EB hasn't put restrictions on selling outside designated territories - I remember Bassstringsonline, now FretNation, was barred from selling their products outside North America:

Call Jason at Fret Nation and see what he can do for the cobalts. (951) 474-8484. I don’t think he sells TI’s.

He does sell TIs, I bought a set for my Dingwall NG.

Have you entertained getting a set? A new single will not sound like the rest of your strings. And needing a single is as good a signal as you’ll ever get that it’s time to replace the set.

Good to know. He doesn’t list them on his website.

For the TI B, search for "JF34136". Here's the Amazon listing, which is sometimes cheaper than this, and you might find it cheaper elsewhere:
