BEAD String sets

[SteveXFR]

Does anyone make a 4 string set suitable for BEAD tunings? Something like .130 - .065 would do it.

I'm currently buying 5 string sets be it seems a bit wasteful buying that .045 g string that I'll never fit.

Saving the planet and a few quid with one less string.

Should have said, round wound, standard length, nothing fancy.

Or Newtone who get a lot of love on here. Will do custom sets at sensible prices.

Thanks, they look ideal

I had a set of those Rotosounds on a bass for a while to try out drop C. Not a fan of the feel - very rough. But I do find stainless steel tend to be a bit rougher than nickel. Strings Direct can offer a few alternatives though.

Moved over to these from Rotosounds a good while back. Much prefer them.

I use the 5-55 sets on both my five string basses.

I saw them recently and bought a few sets for my daughters school because she always complains their bass strings are dead. I tried out a set and they're entirely adequate. Nothing fancy but they get the job done and sound fine.

I do want to avoid the waste of buying 5 string sets though. Saving the planet one g string at a time.

Yes! Down with g strings!
