Extra-long tape-wounds for a 5-string ?

[colan]

Hello-  first time here.

 

Does anybody make extra-long tape-wound five-string sets ?  

Until I find some I'm using D'addario XL ETB92-5s with the blue silk halfway across the nut-  but I want the proper job.

 

This particular bass- a Sire M5  -  can be strung through the body or through the bridge-  but either way ' Long ' strings are just too short.

Help appreciated.

Thanks for those, itu.   Any extra-long  tape-wound 5 sets , to your knowledge  ?

I have bought GHS Long Scale + sets since late 1990's. But only roundwounds. I suggest you should find some dealer and ask them.

 

The local dealer I have used has had singles. I have done several trials with a set of 4, and a single. Then I found the right B, .120, that worked with my MG Quantum 5 SPi.

 

Hopefully you can find a helping store.

I've bought Extra Long La Bella black nylons.

 

I just emailed La Bella and they sold them to me direct.

Just FYI La Bella extra longs are 38", but can be up to 1/2" shorter/longer.
