single flatwound bass strings- I'm at a loss

[Smooth_bass88]

Somehow or other I ended up with a brand new set of fender 9050 45-100 flatwound strings, but the low E is missing. I think this was part of box of random bass strings someone gave me a long time ago. In any case, I've been searching the web, talkbass, reverb, eBay, etc but to no avail. Am I missing something? Also, I find the talkbass search function to, how should I say, be less than user-friendly (compared to the TB of old). I've tried juststrings, strings and beyond plus a few others, but I keep coming up short. so... if any of you fine, intelligent internet users can help a brother out, it would be greatly appreciated. Yeah. Tanks!

Fender 9050 flats are not available as singles. The closes equivalent would be the Ernie Ball Stainless Steel Flats, which are available as singles but only directly from Ernie Ball, if I'm not mistaken...

Stainless Steel Flatwound Electric Bass Guitar Single Strings

Flat stainless steel wire wrapped around a hex shaped tin plated steel wire core. Provides a smooth feel and mellow sound.

EB Group 100E sound more matching with 9050L set than Cobalt flat 100E.

I was not recommending the cobalts specifically, but just mentioning that Sweetwater can order singles.

Your best bet is proly to buy another set yielding you an A-D and G back up singles

I heard T-bone Wolk used a round wound low E.

Get the 9050M (055-070-090-105) and a single D'Addario Chrome G (040).

[Alternatively, the guitar Chrome 040 might be long enough, and only need to be threaded into a bass ball-end:

Use the 105 with the three strings from the 9050L (45-60-80) you already own, as a revival of the twice-discontinued 9050CL.

Use the remaining strings (040; 055-070-090) as an extra-light set, installed on another bass.

Unfortunately 40 55 70 90 is waaaaaaayyyy too light for me
