[quote name='AttitudeCastle' post='1172613' date='Mar 22 2011, 09:08 PM']I use a rotosound .140 for my B string in standard tuning, I've been looking at a .175 so i can tune down to an F# but that would probably be a tad floppy for my likes, In america i saw a .205 string I cannot for the life of me remember the brand name or what the packet looked like!! Guy at the shop said he had only ever sold 2 packs... to the same guy Also, those conklin strings are expenisve! $34 for a low C#! (the .194) Imagine the price of a full 11 string set! (I Plan to own a 9 string before i hit 30 ) I like thick strings, been called MAD (Mad i say! Mad!) for usuing a .115 for an E[/quote] on the circle k website the largest string ive found is a .254 ........i mean really....is that necessary? even though i tune down to G even i think that is kinda overkill

I've sent my e-mail to newtone strings, seem to have a few happy customers in this topic alone, look forward to trying their strings out.

I'm playing my first gig in a few weeks time...rather nervous. from the video's it looks like you done really well, i'll be terrified incase anything goes wrong people seem to be saying 8 rehearsal's isn't that much...which isn't helping the fact that by the time of my first gig we'l only have rehearsed 5 times....it's a metal band so luckily the drummer problem won't be there lol

at that gauge i believe the term 'string' becomes a bit inappropriate.....'cable' is definitely a more fitting name

i'm going to send them an e-mail......what would you reccomend for GCGCF tuning? (gauge-wise) i've never tried anything higher than .130

Pop them an email they're sound guys and should get back to you fairly quickly. Ps tittie bum[/quote] tittie bum indeed. also, what are the prices (estimate) for those strings in a 5 string set?

yeah, it's looking like i may need to either custom order strings or buy the darklord's and find a D string seperatly....damn my low tuning

I'm sure this has been posted many many times, however here goes. I tune down to GCGCF when i play with my band (no prizes for guessing what kind of music) but I'm in need of new strings and was wondering what are the heaviest strings out there and where can i get my hands on them? the heaviest ive found in shops around here are rotosound swing bass .130 which is still pretty floppy (although the .105 'E' string is the worst) Warwick dark lord strings don't count....although i am considering buying a pack of them

*jaw hits floor violently* i can't afford that many bass stand's never mind the bass's

noticed this deal on thomann, wondering if anybody had any experience with this cab or the amp head and if it's worth the money (seems like a good deal to me) [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/warwick_profet_33_bundle_3.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/warwick_profet_33_bundle_3.htm[/url] cheers
