String set for Low G tuning? Where to get single string (175)?

[mruotsalainen]

Hi folks, I thought I´ll check if I could find little help from here with my "string problem"

Our tuning is Low G, F, A#, D#, G#
Custom set: 175, 105, 85, 65, 45

Currently i´ve had a lot of headache with combining string set as so far I haven´t found 175 string from anyone else than Warwick. And from their Dark Lord set I´ve been able to use 3 strings (135 is too thick for F). And it will cost bit too much to get Warwick´s Dark Lord set (55&#8364 and 2 single strings.

Do you know is other brands manufacturing this thick strings? Problem would be solved if I could get that 175 as single string from somewhere. Other gauges would be covered with Warwick´s Black Label series Medium set.

Rotosound stainless. If that works it can happen.

Check Circle K strings. They have it all.

There are quite a few sources, are you USA, Europe, elsewhere?

 

[mruotsalainen]

Thanks for suggestions. Gotta check those.

I'm in Europe.

I checked some places (not yet the ones mentioned) but nobody had 175 thick string available as single.

Circle K looks promising

Thanks everyone!
I managed to nail a deal through local distributor and got custom sets ordered from Warwick

I'm planning to order some soon. Just need more money to buy couple of sets. If you chose them,write about their customer service.

Bloody hell what price they have for single 175 string. Almost 36€ for one...

Hey, there
Is it to much? I know only for these guys in Europe that sells single Warwick Blacks. I need 70-90-110-145 and 70-90-110-140 for both of my basses. These strings are not so expensive and are almost equal to standard sets they sell. A little bit higher priced but for single string set are ok. Do you found a different dealer that has better price?

I was just mainly checking price for 175 and that price is very high compared to standard Black Label Dark Lord set which includes 175-135-105-85. That is usually around 50-55€ compared to single 175 in that site 36€.

For me Black label's Medium set plus single 175 does the trick and I got very good price for it via local distributor. I ordered 10 sets which was minimum for factory order.

If you'd be ready to "thin a tad" Warwick's Black label Low B set (135-105-85-65) could be option. 29€ at Thomann per set. How does that compare price of singles?

I play exactly with the same Low B set almost 5 years now. But I play a little bit hard with my right hand and hate the fret buzz . On my standard G-D-A-E bass i have 50-70-90-110 and love them. Even the action is lower That's why I want to try something else for D-A-E-A and D-A-E-B tuning.
