Jabba_the_gut Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hi, Just wondered if anyone knows of any (not too expensive....) strings I can use on a 5 string Crafter BA580 acoustic bass. The bass is 32" scale - long scale strings are too long i.e. the fat part of the string windings ends up going round the tuner. I can find 4 string sets but not 5 string sets. I would also consider nylon/tape wound strings. Does anyone have any suggestions please? Cheers Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Try googling " newtone strings" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba_the_gut Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Thanks for the details - I'll take a look. I've really struggled to find anything suitable so far. Thanks again. Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I had one of these many years ago. Not sure what length neck it had but had awful problems with intonation on the B and obviously no way of adjusting it. Sold it on, but not on here!
