colan Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Hello- first time here. Does anybody make extra-long tape-wound five-string sets ? Until I find some I'm using D'addario XL ETB92-5s with the blue silk halfway across the nut- but I want the proper job. This particular bass- a Sire M5 - can be strung through the body or through the bridge- but either way ' Long ' strings are just too short. Help appreciated.

colan Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 Thanks for those, itu. Any extra-long tape-wound 5 sets , to your knowledge ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I have bought GHS Long Scale + sets since late 1990's. But only roundwounds. I suggest you should find some dealer and ask them. The local dealer I have used has had singles. I have done several trials with a set of 4, and a single. Then I found the right B, .120, that worked with my MG Quantum 5 SPi. Hopefully you can find a helping store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I've bought Extra Long La Bella black nylons. I just emailed La Bella and they sold them to me direct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
