Where can i get THICK bass strings?

[shiekaa]

Hey all, i'm having a bit of trouble finding bass string thicker than 130ish to tune a low B down to G# (trust me it was fine at A but you know guitarists..)

Also more difficult to find as im playing a 37" scale too...

If anyone could she some light on this it would be great!

Always come back o basschat for these things because everyone is so helpful!

If you have deep pockets, try searching for CircleK strings...literally dozens of gauges; they do a 37" five-string set of .254 .190 .142 .106 .079.

Should be low enough.

I use D'Addario nickel wounds on my 5er. I buy 5 singles so I can pick the gauges, as I tune low B down to A (and all the others 2 half steps too). The set I have is 145-120-95-75-55, pretty meaty and the B sounds great. They also do a 135 and 130.

Here's a link to GigGear:
