Options for Acoustic Bass Strings?

[jasperok]

Just wondering if anyine knows of brands of acoustic strings that are out there?

I see very little choice on the bay or else where really.

I need some warm (not bright) short scale strings for my resonator bass and want to try out a few different types.

Thanks

Is the Reso a magnetic or piezo pickup? I ask as it affects which string types you can use.

Why not buy some Status Graphite Hitwires? Rob does short scale black nylon, flat and dedicated acoustic bass strings, so you should fine something you like there...

actually its a humbucker - fender fr51

who's Rob?

thanks

Ok - I am actually finding this quite difficult.

Due to the pickup being a humbucker I have to go for brinze/nickel strings right?

But the problem is being a resonator it really has a bright sibilant scratchy sound - i need to mellow it out some

AND they need to be short scale!

Does anyone know of a nice store where the owners are willing to give suggestions based on your needs?

Thanks again

Sorry to drag this out but its just i'm having little luck finding many options andperhaps moreso am unsure exactly of what my options are
