Extra Long Scale Single Strings? Where to get them?

[Daevasmodeus]

I've been trying to find extra long scale single bass strings because I want to tune my 35' scale 6 string bass down a step to ADGCFA. None of the major string manufacturers seem to offer a wide enough selection of extra long scale strings to make a custom set for a 6 string. I've checked JustStrings but wasn't able to find anything on there.

Is there a company that offers a wide selection of extra long scale strings that I am missing, or do I just have to order from a boutique string maker like octave4plus?

Have you checked out Circle K?

Do you mount strings through your body or do you bridge-mount your strings?

If you bridge mount I have 6 sets that will serve - it will be a matter of picking your preference.

I make/sell the Circle Ks.

definitely Circle K. Skip here makes great strings, and they definitely sound awesome!

Rotosound has a pretty wide selection of longer length strings too. You can usually get one of their reps on the phone, describe what you need, and they'll let you know which sets (or individual strings) to get.
