Not sure where you are in the world, but Newtone strings in the UK will make a custom set for you. Might be worth a look when you next need a new set for the 38” beast!

Octavius Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 When I mentioned that I made it the only 450B, I meant that I made it into an Octave Bass, 8-strings. Kramer Guitars did not produce any 450B basses as an 8 string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
