Cookie51 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Hi, I play a Spector Euro 4 LX & an Ibanez SRT 800 DX & find the EMG pickups work fine with the different rigs I own. I also play a Cort A5 Plus SC (5 string) & the Bartolini pickups work well. I am trying to source A 5 string set of stainless flat wound Fender long scale lights (0.045 - 0.130). I'm currently using Ernie Ball 45-130s (flat wound) but prefer the Fenders that I have on both of my 4 strings. My local says there is a 12 month wait for the Fenders & I can't find any online. Suggestions for another brand that may be closer to the Fender characteristics are welcome. I started using the Fenders due to peripheral nerve damage from chemotherapy & as my finger tips are still problematic I wish to continue with them. Cheers and hoping for feedback, Cookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard R Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Welcome aboard! I can't help directly with the question, but I recommend you try posting this in the Bass Guitars thread (under Gear). More people read that than the introductions, so you may get more suggestions. If you add that you're in WA you might get recommendations for Aussie suppliers too. Beat of luck 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
