Seven string sets in the UK?

Hello! It's been a while since I was around here, and by gosh it's all a bit different.

I'm looking for recommendations on where to get sets of strings for a 7 string bass (Conklin Bill Dickens sig)- I'm looking for a B-F set, with a wound top string, light to medium gauge. Currently I'm using Elixirs with a guitar string for the top string, which is good, but a bit tight on the top string. It's also expensive. Previously I had some Overwaters but they don't seem to sell 7 string sets any more?

Any recommendations appreciated.
Cheers

Go to 'on-line shop', 'bass strings' and check the custom options. You can make a set with any gauge you want. The best bit is the strings are great! Can't use anything else these days.

Hope it helps.

Wow, never seen those before. If I'm buying a standard set do I want Long or Medium scale? 34" necks. :)

Thanks! I don't suppose you know whether the .020 strings are wound or plain do you? I've emailed to enquire but not sure how long they'll take to reply.

Just got a reply from Rob Green confirming that all their strings are wound, including the.020, so that looks like the winner for now. Thanks eddiehoffman!

Glad to hear that. After I learned about them my string problems are a thing of the past. Cheap + great quality + personal and fast service + custom options = WIN!!!

I never used the premium ones. I was tempted, but I tend to like quite a bit of tension in my strings and on their website they say that the premium ones are a bit more flexible than the standards. I'm using the standard rounds in one of my basses and they're great! I also have experience with their half wounds and flat wounds and they're all brilliant.
