Which big, well-known, guitar string companies make guitar string that would be long enough for top-loading 34" scale basses?
I'm considering tuning my bass in fifths (lo-hi GDAE) to match my GDAEBF# tuned guitar-the same pitches as the lowest four guitar strings-NOT an octave lower. I like how fifths tuning worked out for guitar and would like to get some more range out of my bass, plus it would make chords easier for me to play on bass.
Right now it's looking like the string sizes will be
E something in the range of 20 to 25
A 35
D 55
G 85
I'm not so worried about that A since I know string companies make something like 30-35 for high C on BEADGC sixers, but for a 20-something I feel I might need a guitar string.
