I just got a set for my Dingwall 5 & wanted to try low F# .... Really like the strings (except the F# .174 tho prob not the string's fault more the low freq) so I took it off & moved the others up & just added a (high) G .. so have normal low B (actually drop A in my case) ... My initial impression is that I like these Circle K strings even more than the Dingwall or Payson but it looks like this low tuning set is the only one available in the UK that I know of (Bassdirect) I'd love to be able to just get the normal 5 string set next time I need a string change ...

Nice one ! I'd love a wenge neck on my ABZ (don't think I've even posted a pic yet & had it 3 1/2 years)

Can't really help other than I've heard good things about them & I seem to remember reading somewhere that they use Volt speakers which are made here in the UK.

The DiMarzio Ultra jazz pups in my Yamaha BBN5 have a more thump than growl as they're hum cancelling so neck is similar design to a p bass pup ... I might be taking this bass off the market as I'm maybe gonna give it another try with different pups (true single coils other than stock) & maybe some flats as tension on low B isn't enough for me as I play in drop A. It's fine in standard tuning and is a nice 5er. I think you can't go wrong with the Yamaha range of 5ers & most of the new ones are all 34". Not expensive either Pity for me coz I'd really like 35" just for the low A issue ...
