shiekaa Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hey all, i'm having a bit of trouble finding bass string thicker than 130ish to tune a low B down to G# (trust me it was fine at A but you know guitarists..) Also more difficult to find as im playing a 37" scale too... If anyone could she some light on this it would be great! Always come back o basschat for these things because everyone is so helpful!

NancyJohnson Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 If you have deep pockets, try searching for CircleK strings...literally dozens of gauges; they do a 37" five-string set of .254 .190 .142 .106 .079. Should be low enough. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldude Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I use D'Addario nickel wounds on my 5er. I buy 5 singles so I can pick the gauges, as I tune low B down to A (and all the others 2 half steps too). The set I have is 145-120-95-75-55, pretty meaty and the B sounds great. They also do a 135 and 130.
