Steveb Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I have a headless 5 string Steinberger adjustable bass. Need double ball strings. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike1962 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 La Bella. Not sure if they do 5 string but just put a 4 string set on my Hohner Jack fretless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowregisterhead Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 You could try Status Hotwires (http://www.status-graphite.com/status/frames/index_home.html) As something of a veteran of things headless, I didn't care for them, but I know plenty of people do.

wrinkleygit Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I always used Bass Centre Elites from Strings Direct, only available as rounds but excellent value for the money, have just discovered that Bass Direct carry La Bella double balls , ordered a set of flats yesterday, (set of four plus a loose B string), arrived this morning & strung up my trusty old Sei, the windings are not as neat at the ball ends as some other makes I have used, but fitted without any issues, they feel great & initial impressions are they sound good, have a rehearsal on thurs so will get a better idea then. Status hot wires can be a bit marmite & they don't carry the range they used, good luck in your quest, mike b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mottlefeeder Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Your range of strings is always going to be limited if you need double ball ends. If you buy/make an adaptor block to clamp standard strings at the neck end, you can then use standard strings that you already know that you like.
