[scojack]

Looking for recommendations for a 5 string set with a high C for a 33" Scale.
What d'ya think?

I would recommend you speak to Newtone. The strings that came on my 33" ACG were made by them and were fab-u-lous.

Fired an email orf to Newtone Strings today.
Anybody else pipe in? Anything more 'off the shelf' ?

EDIT oops sorry - just read the critical word 'set' so I can't help directly. But try the Strings Direct site as they seem to have pretty-much everything!

D'Addario maybe?

I use their strings, and have done for ages, both on 6 string bass with a high C, and a 7 string. They have quite a selection of gauges to choose from including both wound and plain C strings.

Thomann seem to stock a couple of sets of Fodera 5-String sets with high Cs.

We don't do any EADGC sets but we have a huge range of singles available. Depending on your preference we typically suggest a .032 gauge string for a high C, you could pair this single C with a 4-string set of your choice. Feel free to drop me a PM if you need any advice on gauges or would like me to give you the item codes for specific products.

Thanks for the feefback folks. I was going to order up the singles from D'addario but decided to go for a 33" set from Newtone. 33" is getting popular now, would be good if more choice was available.
