    Mktrat Seriously, are we not doing phrasing anymore?

    Where can I get some flats for a six string?

    Very little info on some string sites I checked.

    Any help guys/gals?

    I use D'Addario Chromes on my Smith 6-string FL. ECB81-5 and add in a high C (CB032). Resultant gauges are:

    0.132
    0.100
    0.080
    0.065
    0.045
    0.032

    Thank-you all for the suggestions.

    Lots of stuff I didn't think of, and a few I did.

    My first choice was www.bassstringsonline.com but I couldn't find them. Looking back now I do see there are a few options.

    Thanks again.
