Flatwounds for a 5-string

[BoomBass]

Hi,

I have had a hard time finding a set of flatwounds for my 5-string in DK. I need a 0.45-130 set. Does any of you guys have an idea if there is a good online store in the UK (or anywhere else within the EU) that has such strings and is capable of shipping overseas?

Thanks :-)

Hey all, thanks for your inputs. :-) I found a set on ebay.co.uk. Look forward to trying them on my fretless!

How do Status flats compare to LaBellas ... in sound, and feel, I mean ?

I ask because I'm not so keen on TI flats, and so far I've not had good results so far with LaBella 5 string sets, though they work well for me on 4's.
