franzbassist Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I would recommend you speak to Newtone. The strings that came on my 33" ACG were made by them and were fab-u-lous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visog Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) EDIT oops sorry - just read the critical word 'set' so I can't help directly. But try the Strings Direct site as they seem to have pretty-much everything! Edited May 9, 2017 by visog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 D'Addario maybe? I use their strings, and have done for ages, both on 6 string bass with a high C, and a 7 string. They have quite a selection of gauges to choose from including both wound and plain C strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Thomann seem to stock a couple of sets of Fodera 5-String sets with high Cs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'AddarioUK Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1494346479' post='3295214'] D'Addario maybe?

[/quote] We don't do any EADGC sets but we have a huge range of singles available. Depending on your preference we typically suggest a .032 gauge string for a high C, you could pair this single C with a 4-string set of your choice. Feel free to drop me a PM if you need any advice on gauges or would like me to give you the item codes for specific products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scojack Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Thanks for the feefback folks. I was going to order up the singles from D'addario but decided to go for a 33" set from Newtone. 33" is getting popular now, would be good if more choice was available.
