It's a pity that Elixir don't make a set.[/quote] Yes, & it's a pity DR don't do them (to my knowledge) either..... Surely the bass string makers know there is a market here? Or would it not make them enough £££?

Welcome from another fellow newbie You'll find yourself right at home here. Keep it low Greg

[quote name='BlueBear' post='32223' date='Jul 15 2007, 09:41 PM']Hi Greg. I'm also a Hants dweller and play in a Southampton based band. Are you in a band? If so, whereabouts do you rehearse? Let us know when you're gigging. BlueBear.[/quote] [quote name='Grant Toupe' post='32337' date='Jul 16 2007, 03:55 AM']Yeah! I'm from Southampton too! Welcome to the board Five String! You playing in a band locally?[/quote] Thank you all for the welcome. In response to the questions... I play in various bands and recording projects. My main gigging band is with BLUESTATE (www.bluestate.me.uk), which is a funk / soul / blues band. Although its mainly covers, it does get me earning & gigging at least twice ~ three times a week on average. I do other work with some smaller side projects, and also have worked with American singer / songwriter Tamrah Aeryn, which is origional material simular to Tori Amos style vocals. Have a good day all, Greg

Hi All, I've snapped my surfboard looking at the net to find a good (cheap?) supplier of the strings I use on my headless 5 string bass. Has anyone got a good source for buying these at sensible prices? I use La Bella 045 ~ 128 Double Ball System / Steinerger. Stringbusters.co.uk, where I usually get my other strings, don't list a 5 string set. What sort of duty would I have to pay if I imported say 5 sets from one of the numerous USA websites listing these? Any ideas Thanks Greg
