High C String Set Suggestions

A bit unusual, but I use chromes for that.
E-C, I make a light custom set from singles; 32-40-55-75-105. (Most go for 95). The C is only in .32, but works ok.

 

i use Kalium. you can pick whatever gauge you like.

Curt Mangan 45-105 nickels. They sell a .030 high-C string which can be added. When I finally get my hands on an Ibanez BTB845V, that's the 5-string set I'll use on it.

30 Nickel Wound Bass Single String

EDIT: Updated the link to the 4-string set. Accidentally linked to the short scale set.

 

Search is over with these:

Dunlop Super Bright Stainless Steel Round Wound Electric Bass Strings Long Scale Set - 6-String 30-130 DBSBS30130 - SALE

Better strings than most, and cost much less. And seriously, if you buy a bunch of them I'll buy the .130 B strings from you. I'm not joking. Or email Jason and see if he'll remove the .130's and give you a better price and I'll buy them from him.

And even though the gauges are the same as the others you mentioned, Super Brights are still lighter.

 

Discarding a string is just a hassle, or a waste of money and resources. The most choice is from a 4 set plus a single , or all singles, instead of restricting yourself to a very few high-C sets.

 

I use Fodera nickels. Good balance, not too light on the C.
